My artworks are the result of my traditional watercolor and acrylic painting technique as adapted to the computer. The work I do today has transitioned from traditional mediums to digital technologies allowing me to create on screen, layer by layer, expanding visual possibilities along my creative journey.
I am inspired by how shapes, patterns and colors may be interpreted differently through their interactions with other layers. I explore the contradiction between rigid geometries and anomalous events realizing evocative abstractions as a way of creating visual delight. It’s like continuing in architecture without the constraints of practicality.
The computer exists within my process as the canvas, brushes, and paint. I ask nothing more of the digital side except to continue to allow me opportunities to study the fundamental elements of form and pattern, color and light in various ways. My works are a fluid composition where there are no commitments until every aspect of every visual element and it’s attributes are considered. I do not use AI in my works as my process demands hand-eye-brain interaction.
