Cynthia Manuel

Digital Art

Being a digital artist, when the World Wide Web emerged, I was instantly captivated by the creative potential it offered. I was fortunate enough to be mentored in the art of computer programming and learned how to code by hand. Perl was the first computer language I learned 20 years ago. Today I code in JavaScript, PHP, CSS, HTML, and MySQL daily. As they say at WordPress, “Code is poetry. “

I love what I do and consider myself lucky to be able to do what I love.

“Art is a glimpse of the beauty the world gives to us and a kiss of love back to that world.”
