Tactual Dreams is a series of original photographs by award-winning artist Richard S. McWherter that he has digitally embellished by hand with an astounding authentic spirit. By using his own proprietary process he creates dramatic images with a trompe l'oeil painting effect that defies the limitations of a two dimensional plane. These expressionistic dreamscapes reflect this artist's deep passion for nature and his unique creative vision.
"My work champions some of the hidden and temporal natural treasures on this planet and hopefully challenges everyone to be actively engaged in protecting our surroundings. Promoting this understanding of our world, and our place in it, will help us make sure it is here for generations to come."
-RS McWherter
What others are saying about the Tactual Dreams portfolio:
“Your images certainly play with the line between Impressionistic painting and the Pictorialist movement," said a recent reviewer. "Some photographs dance closer toward the painting. Others closer to the photography. And there's no doubt that several of the images leave me somewhat awe-struck. I enjoyed viewing and thinking about your work Richard. You have developed an intriguing process here that indeed transforms these natural spaces that are somewhat familiar to me into surprising landscape rife with new meaning and possibility.”
