Kathie Chicoine Artistic Photography

I've always been interested in art and I've been especially drawn to color, texture, and shapes. Since I received a digital camera several years ago, I've become intrigued with photography.I love taking photographs in the forest preserves and parks surrounding Chicago and at the botanic gardens. I started taking photos of nature primarily, but in the past year, I've become fascinated with creating totally new images through the technique of editing my original photographs. This has become my latest passion. There are several photo editors that I enjoy experimenting with to see what unique images I can create. A new interest involves creating,fun, joyful images directly from the computer- this digital art frequently has a whimsical, childlike quality to it. I hope my artwork will bring a smile to your face and brighten your day.
