digi self portrait

My self-portrait is about me as a woman in Richmond. I define myself as an outdoors and adventure driven person. I am a painter and an artist as well. Therefore in my image I wanted to include all these elements. In the image you can see I used a larger watercolor brush tool for the background. I then super imposed an image of me on a tree covered in ivy. This makes it seem I am one with nature. All the graphics were drawn by myself as well as taking the photographs myself. This self portrait signifies an abstract portrait. The image of my face is hardly visible and barely recognizable as myself. I also did not want to straight forwardly say things about myself. I wanted the viewer to look once and look again, wondering whom it may be or what things about the image might be a part of who I am
