For me, children’s art tends to be driven by high emotions. Inspired by visions of battle scenes, princesses, dragons, and superheroes, children’s drawings are filled with fantastical imagery and emotional expression. As adults, our creative expression changes in relation to our life experiences. This digital work is inspired by the emotional event of my daughter’s thirtieth birthday. Accessible, transformative, and sharable, digital photography provides us with the possibility to re-imagine emotionally charged memories as artistic creations.
