A Little Bit About Me.,My name is Caroline, and before this semester, I would have never considered myself a digital artist. I'm a pre-med majoring in Biology and college lacrosse player, so the farthest from an artist. However, after taking this digital art class at Scripps College. I have discovered a new way to express myself through Adobe Photoshop.

My Portfolio.
The artists who inspire the pieces detailed below that are all following a theme of showing the magic in nature are Justin Peters, Erik Johansson, Lulu Chen, and Stephan McMennamy. Just as Peters finds inspiration from his surrounding environment and the nature around him, I was inspired by the natural world. I aspire to capture and bring out the beauty in nature. Like Chen, I find that my ideas are very intricate and create a fairytale world. My pieces are clips from Planet Earth if it were mythical. I was influenced by Johansson in the way that he portrays surrealism in what looks like a real photograph, yet there is a fantastical element that makes it seem as if it is the beginning of a children’s book. Finally, McMennamy inspired me through his series called “ComboPhotos,” a technique of splicing together very different elements to create a new image.
