A Hard Rain's A Gonna Fall
The original photo was of this gorgeous oak in a field between Salem, Oregon and Silverton. It stood under a sunny sky, but I blended it with other textural elements and altered papers to give it a stormy sky.. Digitally altered with layers of photographs, tectural elements, and altered paper. Printed on archival paper.
Balancing Act
I love finding art on the beach and cairns are no exception. I decided to draw one. I illustrated the rocks with graphite and then, digitally “painted” them with photographic texures and layering them with other photographs.
Printed on archival paper.

The Sentinel
I took the original photo of this bare tree at Edgefield, outside of Portland, Oregon. Ths is one of several renditions. I digitally altered this piece, and then used the Prisma app on it (sometimes I can’t help myself…it’s a really fun app) and then greatly altered it again in Photoshop, using photographic textural images, an etched copper plate, and fabric. I added the crow because…well…it needed one. Printed on archival paper.

Tuesday Afternoon
An eco-print on paper that I played with in Photoshop, just a little, then added a bit of watercolor. I may not be finished.
Wallflowers
Today was a wonderful tease as I anxiously await spring. A variety of poppies from different Oregon gardens. I really love poppies, as many of you already know.
Photographs, monotype print, handmade textured paper, and a photo of a piece of shale.

Wild Thang
This gorgeous tree stands along a forest path at Dorris Ranch in Springfield, Oregon. It looked the like sun was hitting from several directions, so I played that up in altering it. I actually took this phone with my phone and initially altered it with a phone app (Prisma), and then worked with it some more in Photoshop.

These ferns were dancing in the wind on the the luscious forest floor. I simply had to capture them and cast my digital spells on them.

“Love this photo! When I received the print, it was better than I expected. Roka’s integration of 3 photos to create this beautiful art brings the depth of composition to life. The vivid colors and subtle nostalgic theme are a perfect match to my home. Thank you, Roka!” ~ P.A.
