Nancy Abel – Photographer

While my art roots were planted in the media of paint and clay, I find digital photography gives me new methods to approach making art. I love to combine multiple images and I find endless inspiration in elements of nature and the urban landscape. 
Although a single photograph often satisfies me as a final image, I find combining layers of photographs and textures is a lot of fun and often better conveys the emotion of the captured moment. Similar to multiple exposures or applying paint glazes to canvas, for me, combining images, texture, and color is like mixing a bit of abstraction with reality. In either case, whether the final image is a straight photograph or a composite, my goal is to create an organic image which reflects the original subject with both visual depth and spirit.
