Digital Images
The digital image below was designed as part of the campaign to explain and address the plight of the critically endangered Western Ground Parrot, now found only in the heath-lands of Cape Arid National Park near Esperance, in southern W.A. Despite the excellent work of the Friends of the WGP, there were believed to be only 140 birds left in the wild by 2015. Wildfires in November 2015 wiped out 90% of their remaining breeding area, and these numbers were decimated even further.
My image was used in the July 2014 ABC documentary which won funding for an ongoing captive breeding programme at Perth Zoo.

The images below were created during my first explorations into using Photoshop.
The last two were constructed using the first image in the series - which was built upon, freehand in Photoshop, in order to explore the theme of a woman's place in many Middle Eastern cultures today:

The next two images show how easily distinct and unrelated photos can be combined - even by a rank amateur! - to produce a picture which looks so real it's almost believable. Quite a scary thought...
The photo-montage series below was inspired by the life of William Utermohlen, a talented professional artist who worked in London for most of his career. After a slow and devastating decline, William died of Alzheimer's Disease in 2007.
Utermohlen's artwork represents a most complete, coherent and inexpressibly painful testimony of one individuals experience with this devastating disease.
