The Mushroom

Nature series Part 2

There’s a light in all living things that we may not always see. We are connected to the animals, the trees, the plants, and our life continues in cycles through these natural sources.

Most of my art is inspired by nature. I grew up on 40 acres of woods and fields and spent every day exploring. As kids, we would construct these little fairy parks in the woods and build ladders, moss beds, and pretend lanterns. I imagined a world of glowing mushrooms for them to live under and in my mind, the whole forest came to life when we weren't looking. This piece was my way of bringing that idea into my daily reality through Photoshop.

This piece was created in Photoshop and the glow was painted by hand digitally.
