I really hope that you will come to know me through my paintings and prose. A far greater experience can be shared in this way, rather than for me to try to define myself using all the standard demographic parameters and social designations.
Everyone has a passion for something in life. On the road to self-discovery, I passed many years toiling away in the cubicles of corporate America. Those cannot be considered "wasted" years, since they provided the clear perspective from which I view my life now.
I sincerely believe that communicating through art is the best vehicle to express my innermost vision and fashion a "voice" for my greatest concerns. This process is akin to teaching as it has the ability to shape the minds of those who are attentive to or interested in the artwork.
As artists have grown and adapted to change, our tools and techniques have evolved over time as well. Although I grew up painting with traditional materials — and still do from time to time — advances in technology have presented me with a wonderful new medium in which to work. Armed with Macintosh computers, a digital tablet, and a pressure-sensitive electronic stylus, I have transformed my studio into a world of untold possibilities.
Some critics of digital art believe that computers have no place in the art world. That is like saying a gas stove has no place in the culinary world...or that special effects have contaminated pure cinematic production skills. What matters most is the artwork realized at the end of the creative journey. Whatever tools or technologies advance the artist's ability to create and express, the inner vision still guides the process. No computer software or hardware by itself can produce the art. An artist must learn how to use the new tools, master the new medium, and seamlessly integrate technique into technology to produce works of art which fully express what was born out of inspiration.
