Digital art by Audra Lemke

Here are my latest digital art creations. I find I'm very drawn to color these days, and the computer is serving me well (I used to only sketch in pencil). I love working with traditional media too, however I love the options provided by the digital world! I created the artwork on this page using digital drawing and digital painting methods. None of the images below were created by simply altering photos.

This is Flying Cards Dissolve Alice's Dream. The Queen shouts "Off with her head!" The pack of cards come flying down upon Alice. Her dream is ending. The cards and Wonderland are transforming (2010).

This is Glowing Garden. A serene fantasy landscape, where you can almost perceive glowing connections of energy between living things (2008).

This is Painted Roses for Wonderland's Heartless Queen. At the Queen of Hearts' garden, Alice met three card gardeners (Five, Two, and Seven of Spades) who curiously were painting white roses red. They had planted a white rose-tree instead of a red one, as expected by the Queen, and feared that she would cry "off with your heads!" Shortly afterwards, the Queen of Hearts arrived with her procession, including the White Rabbit. A croquet game is started, and the Cheshire Cat's head appeared above Alice.

In this interpretation of the garden scene, the Queen of Hearts's wrath destroys card after card and leaves a trail of ghostly suits - clubs (soldiers), diamonds (courtiers), and spades (gardeners), but sparing the royal children (hearts). In the book, Alice saves the three gardeners, but here the Queen sends ghostly 5, 2, and 7 of Spades billowing away. The Cheshire Cat appears in the sky, grin first, and remaining partially transparent. The White Rabbit stays by the Queen as her herald. (2011).

This is Alice's Ambivalence. Alice enjoys her world of childhood, yet wants to understand the rule-ridden and confusing world of adults. She sometimes feels confident about growing up, the path ahead of her, but then also feels hesitant and uncertain at times. Here, the White Rabbit starts the journey for the two sides of Alice, and the Queen of Hearts looms through the clouds like an ominous dream. (2011).

This is Glowing Butterfly. A butterfly flutters through a glowing fantasy landscape. Artwork was extracted from my Glowing Garden image and enhanced (2009).

Sheep Artist, Sheep Art is based on one of the murals that I designed for Sunnyvale Parent Preschool. So far, I haven't had time to paint this particular image on the wall. The murals depict farm animal parents watching and playing with farm animal "preschoolers" in a farm setting. Here the lamb is the artist and also the art as it glues a paper collage frame around it. This is a version using soft pastel colors (2009, original drawing 2004). Alternate version using bright colors images (2009, original drawing 2004): "Sheep Artist, Sheep Art Primary"

Cow Artist, Cow Art is based on one of the murals that I designed and painted for Sunnyvale Parent Preschool. The murals depict farm animal parents watching and playing with farm animal "preschoolers" in a farm setting. Here the calf is the artist and also the art as it paints a cow-spotted frame around it. This is a version using soft pastel colors (2009, original drawing 2004). Alternate version using bright colors images (2009, original drawing 2004): "Cow Artist, Cow Art Primary"

This is Distracted Easter Bunnies. Mama Easter Rabbit and her little bunny cut out carrot shapes from dough while Easter eggs lay hidden behind the trees. This image is based on one of the murals that I designed and painted for Sunnyvale Parent Preschool. The murals depict farm animal parents watching and playing with farm animal "preschoolers" in a farm setting. I modified the original design to make an Easter card (and other art products are available too).
