Simone Riley
Profile
I’m an eternal art student, with a background in Art & Design and professional experience in Graphic Design, Calligraphy and Decorative Painting.
Currently, I work from home as a freelance calligrapher.
More recently I have developed a passion for digital photography and the delights of Photoshop.
My photomontages involve the building up of many layers to create abstract and atmospheric images that convey a sense of depth and texture.
I always have a pocket camera with me, but as far as photography goes I consider myself very much an amateur – I’m drawn to textures and abstract shapes – everything is interesting when you look at it as a potential picture.
I love this site – it is a great discovery!
