The following images began as photographs that were made in and around the Newburyport area, along the coast, through the marshes, and in nearby towns. They've since been reimagined as digital illustrations, shaped not only by how this region looks, but by how it feels to me. Every reimagined image is grounded in my original photography, which served as the foundation for this transformation.
To start, here are six before-and-after sliders to help you visualize the process …
Next there are 2 separate galleries.
Gallery One early work.
Gallery Two new work.
