100% Authentic Art
We use a range of mediums including traditional paint like watercolor, digital paint and digital sculpture - but we'd like to emphasize that NONE of the work we do utilizes AI image generators or LLM's in any way shape or form. We offer only 100%, hand made, personally designed creations from start to finish, and always will.
