When it comes to digital creativity, there has never been a better time for artists – the technology has finally caught up with their imaginations
rtists have used tools to help form their ideas for as long as humankind has existed, with the brush, chisel, pencil, and even camera each offering the opportunity for expression for countless years. However, the last few decades have introduced additional means for artistry – and those who embrace them are realising their visions in ever more exciting ways.
Stormy Pyeatte is one such pioneer.
Combining the natural world with computer aided effects and mastery, she uses technology to create emotive, almost otherworldly experiences that are as unique as they are beautiful. Her art is, in many ways, a celebration of the digital age, and she therefore needs the most up to date equipment to enable it.
The process starts with a simple visit to the flower market, although even in this venue, tech helps her gather inspiration. Taking pictures and notes on her Android phone and tablet, the Snapdragon chipset inside each enables her to choose the right subjects for the piece to come.

THE MODERN LAPTOP IS SO POWERFUL AND EFFICIENT.
In her studio too, Pyeatte requires the speed and fluidity of her devices to sketch and craft ideas for her final work. By doing so digitally, she can also change and adapt the specifics before even starting the project in full. Even lighting decisions and editing can be performed on her phone – allowing her the freedom to reconceptualise during the day, free from a desk.
Once the idea is set, the project starts to take form. The artist builds her floral installation using her floristry experience, with an eye on how it can be embellished using AI-assisted software and lighting effects.
It can be used to direct the process without barriers. And, in Payeatte’s case, a combination of Amaran Lighting, After Effects, and DaVinci Resolve give her the multiple tools she needs to layer her artwork into a visual scape previously only residing in her head. The power of Snapdragon again ensures that there is no time lost, no time spent waiting for adjustments or ideas to be rendered. Everything is as instant and seamless as drawing a line on paper.
Her creative process is therefore not only emboldened by the use of technology, it is enhanced. Her artwork is reliant on it, while devices running on Snapdragon hardware make sure she’s not a hostage to it.
And just one look at the results shows us exactly how important that can be. Some might fear AI and technology, but these are new tools – much like the pencil and camera once were – that can and should be part of the creative process. Pyeatte and her glorious work – as powered by Snapdragon – are testament to that.
Battery life varies significantly based on device, usage, settings, and other factors.
