About raven erebus

I like to find the magical in ordinary everyday things. Much of my work is inspired by things no further than then end of the driveway, because I suffer from a chronic disability. It's my art that saves me. I have been making art of one form or another my whole life. I have worked in many mediums: photography, collage, bookarts, printmaking, painting, and fabric design.

ravenSince you had comment on my "Sunrise Beach" I'm asking if you would look a second time since I have made some changes because I see that 80% has liked option A. I think that is the sunrise. I also agree with this comment "I'm in the minority, I think B is the most artistic edit and I love the sense of mystery in B. I have put another option. Thank you for your time. I love that we have the use of such talented people.
