Digital Art

As a hobby I currently indulge in my love of digital art.  I have produced a few Journals that are sold on Amazon.  I have had many small businesses ask to have my work shown in their establishments for art fairs and more.  Many clients have asked for me to edit and add digital imagery to special images.  I have also defined many digital images with added rhinestone artwork.
