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!

Letting Go
Tears dropping one by one like escaped convicts
THE LOST SOUL
My shadow slips down the plughole in the sink to breathe in the intoxicating perfume of the sewers.
