Into Fire and Into Ice, digital photography manipulation, 20 x 13in (50.8 x 33.02cm), framed 28 x 20in (71.12 x 33.02cm) , $300.00 A very abstracted face, ghoulish in its deformity, is open-mouthed.

Porphyra, digital photography manipulation, 8 x 10in, 20.32 x 25.4cm), $300.00 framed Porphyra is a coldwater seaweed that grows in cold, shallow seawater.

The Critters Inside Your Head, digital photography manipulation, 10 x 10in (25.4 x 25.4cm), $25.00 This is an intriguing image both in terms of color and the tiny shapes inside the whole.
