Doing Digital Art Work In The Community

For over five years I have been donating my art work to the annual WVIZ PBS Auction every year. Around 2010 I had my digital art work displayed on Time Square in New York City for 48 hours with another artist. Also, I had my magazine and art book I made of my art work on the back and front cover The Cleveland Museum of Art Book that promoted the do it yourself art book exhibit.
In 2009 I started to convert some of my photos into digital art. I used various software to convert the photos to look like art.
In 2009 I started to print my own photos and art on 13x19 inch paper. I converted a photo of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to look like art. Looking how nice the converted photo looked I started to convert more of my photos to look like art.
I then joined the Euclid Art Association and started to show my work at the Euclid Art Association annual May show. Throughout the years I won various awards by either coming in 1st place or 2nd place for my photos and for my converted art work.
I also had gallery showings at Euclid Public Library throughout the years. I have also had a gallery showing at Wickliffe Community Center. I then entered several times to a jury show at Lakeland Community College. There at Lakeland Community College a Lakeland police officer seen my art work of the titled work of “From The Flats to the Rock Hall” that consisted of two 13x19 inch prints and bought it. As a part time pro I sell my photos and art to various collectors. For a few years now, I have been submitting my work at the annual People’s Art Show at Cleveland State University.
Thanks,
