Uploading a few of my favorite pieces for #PortfolioDay

I create digital art and I focus primarily on creating #horrorart in a painterly style. I draw inspiration from folklore, psychosis, feminine horror, and body horror

A collage of 5 digital paintings. The first is of a set of conjoined twins receiving surgery and surrounded by flowers. The second is a group of emaciated, indistinct figures surrounding a small child. The third is a painting of a stained glass window with flowers and two people. The fourth is a painting of a woman in a silk dress and fur coat. Her face is bruised. The fifth is a painting of a man whose chest, abdomen, and limbs have been dissected and many bones removed. He is restrained to a table and his anatomy is connected to several tubes.
