ABSTRACT
These first 3 pieces of abstract came along from just playing around with Photoshop filters and effects. I was inspired by one of my classmates and just started messing around for a few hours later that night. I found some photos from my camera roll that would be fun to experiment with and came out with these. I was amazed by how even playing around can take a photo and elevate it to create new art.

The original photo was a reflective of the bird bath in my side yard. I thought the fence's reflection was interesting and after playing around with some effects in photoshop, it ended up like this.

Of course, when you look up at the entrance of the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas you see this bright, vibrant ceiling. I needed something to play with in photoshop, came across this and starting swirling the colors together.

I've always been obsessed with the trees outside my anatomy class in my sophomore year. I took a random photo by standing on top of the counter and taking the shot out the window. I used the oil painting effect and love how it turned out.
