Ysabel LeMay: Photo Fusion and Inspiration
2012
Ysabel LeMay explores the beauty, complexity and divinity found in nature in her artwork. This Canadian artist was a highly successful graphic artist, but left corporate advertising to devote herself to painting full time from 2002 to 2010, when she turned her attention to photography. Her works look like high realism paintings but they are a process that she calls photo fusion, a lengthy process in which she takes hundreds of photographs and assembles them one at a time into her composition. Each piece takes 4 to 8 weeks to complete.
