About The Artist

Definition: an ai generated picture + compositing + photography = an Imije

Imijes Mantra: Bring Joy, Adorn Your Spaces, Make You Smile

I’m Sandi Gagne, creator of Imijes, which I started to share my astounding Al art and compositing with the physical world. My artistic journey began as the owner of an arts and crafts store in my 20’s, where I made and taught many artistic craft items. Years later I became a photo retoucher and compositing artist and did that for over 15 years. After retiring from retouching I dabbled in photography but even with my background and a great camera, I could not satisfy my creative passion to create art . Then along came artificial intelligence and the ability to create imagery. Wow, my creative juices were refueled and my excitement and delight grew! At one point I knew I had to share what I was making with the world. It’s so exciting to see new pictures being generated and then I get to embellish them to my heart’s desire. Sometimes I use a photograph I have shot as a starting reference. I have styled and crafted each piece to be quirky and whimsical and also beautiful. Every one is unique and cannot be duplicated.

New Imijes will be added frequently and you will be amazed by the artistry and technology that come together to create something truly special. I know they will be a joy for you to look at and will make you smile. Some of them crack me up!
