WHY DIGITAL ART?

Art has long been understood to “soothe the savage beast” as it were. It helps us understand ourselves better, and process the things we might otherwise struggle to find the words to explain.

Digital art, however, has the added benefit of a back button, and the ability to duplicate layers or whole artworks prior to making potentially drastic alterations to the piece.

For the trauma survivors and neurodiverse among us, the ability to back track if we “do it wrong” gives us the freedom to try something that may not work out the way we want, because what do we really have to lose?

In 2020, I started playing around with digital art, despite the countless sets of real paint, brushes, art books, and coloured pencils that I longed to use but was terrified of “wasting” because I didn’t know what I was doing.

Through my self-guided art journey so far I have fumbled my way through colour-theory and the trial and error of having my art printed in different mediums to become an exhibiting artist who has won awards and has her first solo exhibit in Cranbourne Library between July and August of 2023.

ABOUT US

Back in 2020, our founder discovered digital art quite by accident, after long believing herself unable to visually create.

Since then, she has made leaps and bounds on her own creative journey, with art shows just shy of double-digits, three pieces receiving commendations or awards in art shows and competitions, over a dozen art markets, a series of digitally illustrated books in the works, and her first solo exhibit at Cranbourne Library in July and August of 2023.

Living and breathing digital art for over three years, she has learnt many lessons the hard way, and now she’s here to pass those lessons on to you, without all the trial and error.

Her aim is to repurpose her own mistakes to help guide you through the wonders of digital art without having to completely redo works to make them printable in the right format with the proper resolution, colour profiles, and more…

But let’s not get bogged down in that for now.

Let’s get creating!

We look forward to hearing from you!
