My present work evolved from 10 years of experimentation with digital media. I was very taken with the ease with which I could draw on early iPhone and iPad devices, and the portability of these tools meant that I could do my work everywhere I went, even in the street.
My intention is to construct a portal into imagined landscapes. Improved technology has given me myriad ways to accomplish this.
My file sizes are currently large to accommodate prints and mural-size installation projects for interior and exterior wall surfaces. New generative technology allows me to create images by combining hand-generated imagery with that of AI.
Because I paint with light on an electronic canvas, the colours are deeply saturated, luminous and with an intended shimmer. I like to use colour extravagantly.
For inspiration, I surf the waves of the metaverse and read the works of contemporary literature. As I work, I feel the mystery, depth and vastness of our cosmos. The worlds I create consciously diverge sharply from the urban landscape in which I live.
I portray states of feeling and the oneiric and hope to touch viewers in their hearts as well as their minds.
In addition to my paintings, I make digital animations with original soundtracks.
I truly believe that art belongs everywhere, and this is one reason I continue to pursue my work in the digital realm.
