This series contains some of my most personal work, coming directly from my imagination, meditation and personal reflection. Driven by the complexity of emotion behind each image, this is also some of my most technically complex work ... as if no one techique is sufficiently expressive.

This series explores of the idea of digital "found art." Each piece is conceptually anchored by a single icon or clip art motif that is presented on a pixelated color field background. Simple lines, bright colors, and familiar subjects make these works fun to do and fun to enjoy.

Stoners Creek Studios - where both myself and my mother (www.wymahornbuckle.com) work as artists - was named for Stoners Creek which borders the property. It's a small, usually shallow creek that changes dynamically with the weather and the seaons. In the summer, when the water is warmer, I love to wade and explore.

STARS holds an annual "Chair-ish the Kids" fundraising event in Nashville. Artists are asked  to create works for auction using old chairs that have been donated. It's been a creatively stimulating challenge for me, and it's for a good cause. So, here are some of  my"chair"-itable works.

"Wat-Umong" or "Temple of the Tunnels" is a buddhist temple compound dating to the 1200s in Chiang Mai Thailand. It was only a short walk from my apartment, and quickly became my favorite destination for destressing, exploration, and meditation. One of its most remarkable features was a sculpture garden containing hundreds of images of Buddha. Mosquitos be damned, I spent hours photographing these priceless artifacts.

It's hard to imagine the sheer "aliveness" of a tropical environment if you've never experienced it for yourself. It's the first thing I notices upon my arrival in Thailand, and it will continue to be my most enduring memory until the day I get to visit again. Light, color, movement and LIFE everywhere I looked. Hopefully, these images capture some of my experience for you.
