Marty and his journey into Fine Art and Creativity.

Everything starts of as photography of a subject.
Sometimes while I am in the same location,
capturing moments and feelings in front of me.
Other times a stand alone image will call out to
other images in my repertoire.

Based in Mackay, creative fine art works based on all my own images. Sometimes these are using in camera techniques such as slow shutter, shutter drag, Intentional Camera Movement, Multiple Exposure and combinations of these.

Post processing also then becomes a factor, whether this is a minor adjustment in Lightroom, or multiple layers into photoshop to paint and blend digitally to the vision that evolves from the original idea.

Creative. Hand finished. For art lovers and collectors.

Totally unique
Each art work is created, post processed printed
and mounted ready to hang
AND

Hand painted with textures which could be paints, medium, natural materials, gold leaf etc.
My Artistic mind set and application will vary for each art work, even of the same base image.

Hair Today, ....
A brave young woman who grew and cut her hair (mum did this also in support), they raised money for cancer and Alopecia charities.

6 months later, this young woman ends up with a rare bone cancer and with the treatment - loses her hair :(
I made this image with out knowing and before she was diagnosed.

Rock it:
An energy. Ode to one of the old masters of painting
– Vermeer-“Girl with a pearl earring”.
The energy of past generations brought to new interpretations.
The rocks layered in have witnessed so many cycles of
energy around them, yet they have their own energy
and the change they move through is virtually unnoticeable.

Nurture Nature:
The reflections of resilient trees that thrive with ocean water lapping their roots. Making the time to feel our own roots to nature and ourselves, maybe we can realize the difference between the things around us is actually not that big of a leap.

Mineral:
Sections of the beach at high water mark accumulates
black mineral sand. Driftwood is scattered over it also.
Minerals of this generous earth feed our bodies
and somehow people can convert this
resource into tangible things.

Wild Coral:
Bleached and wild. Coral goes through it with no choice
of it's own. It doesn't complain, it just does. Yet we do
things to our bodies that create change for better and
sometimes not. Is it for vanity or ego? To impress others
or to feel better about ourselves in our own voice?

Drift Would:
When we all learn there is beauty in everything,
the inanimate, the youth, the decaying all are part
of the same pool of energy, a better understanding
of others and the world that supports might come to the fore.

Chained:
There are a couple of stumps laying in the sand at a creek
that are used to “anchor” boats. These stumps are very old
and get moved around when the water is high enough.
Some of the chains are almost unrecognizable due to the rust
and bunched up, look like locks of hair tumbling down.
The stumps continue to be stumps, yet how do we deal with
some of imagined and subtle influences of the chains of our paradigm?
