(foreword by Joanne Carter)

“Before I start, I would like to express profound thanks to Joanne for the opportunity to give a nod of appreciation to the artists who continue to influence me”  

 

The image that changed my life

I love the stylised photography of Jack Barnosky. Rather than a single image, I would say his oeuvre has profoundly influenced me. His work makes me appreciate the power of editing.

The image I wish I had created

At heart, I am a collage artist. But Meikel S Church is a master of the medium. I am always impressed by his profound efforts. Ergo, I am envious.

Artwork that has influenced my art

I owe a huge debt of gratitude to fellow Montrealer, Roger Guetta. Before I met Roger, I was oblivious regarding sites like TheAppWhisperer, online. He turned me on to Joanne, and numerous other digital artists. Even better, he is a fantastic creative force who has influenced my artistry and appreciation for mobile photography.

The image that is the most underrated

I am not sure the work of Helen Breznik is underrated.  But certainly, her work is worthy of wider appreciation. Her style absolutely appeals to my aesthetic.

Rather than changed my mind, I would say this image, by Eliza Badoiu, opened my mind.  I find the editing superb!

The most recent image that me sad

I think it is a sign of an incredible talent when an artist creates something that is both tragic and beautiful simultaneously. This image by Juta Jazz does just that. I find it breathtaking!

The image I would most like to give as a gift

I would love to have a signed Patricia Januszkiewicz hanging on one of the walls of my home.  So naturally, her art would make an ideal gift!
