I've been a graphic designer for many years. Upon retirement, I am making art for ME!

Abstract art "derived" from nature. Using simple photos I take (bushes, trees, wood chips, anything with texture) as a "pixel" base, I create colorful, abstract pieces digitally. I also like to create what I call abstract portraits, infusing colors and shapes to define cultural figures in a new way.
Where do you find inspiration?Nature, pop culture, an eclectic mix of some of my heroes; Johnny Cash, Jimi Hendrix, Bowie, Dean Martin, and others.
What would you do with $25,000?Take my first trip to Europe!
