Crystal Art

The recent “Crystal Creatures” art/photography adventure brings together my childhood passion for art and life-long journey with the mineral kingdom. These artworks feature photography gleaned from various sources including crystals I have picked up on my travels, blended together digitally in black and white and then in some cases re-tinted with colours.
