jane ward art

It begins with my travels, sometimes distant, sometimes a walk around the block

I take photographs and make paintings of things encountered along the way then layer and fragment the photographic and painted imagery digitally to create urban and natural landscapes playing with perspective and memory creating kaleidoscopic images that combine abstract and figurative elements
