ABOUT THE ARTIST
My most recent work, Unintended Consequences, is a series of digitally manipulated photographs about our industrial and energy production machinery. As our world struggles with global warming and ever increasing energy needs, this architecture of power looks both beautiful and foreboding. As a painter and digital artist, I hope to communicate more than simply a place.
The figurative paintings, both quick studies and acrylic canvases of process, journey, and expression, relate to my extensive figure drawing background and intuitive approach to painting. The Jars & Jugs series plays with styles, places and shapes.
I'm primarily a self-taught artist, with several years at California College of Arts & Crafts (painting, drawing). With the event of the computer, I began working with digital graphics, web design, video, photography and large scale printing.
