The Artist's Viewpoint

Art in one form or another has been essential to my life since early childhood. Art is the means I use to connect with others: of my experience, observations, and thoughts about our world.

I have worked with a range of mediums to create artworks, both physical and digital. I choose the medium that offers the best opportunity to express and communicate those things that are closest to me.

Music is essentially an emotive medium. If it makes you feel, then you will likely listen to it again, and again. Music is for me by far the most instinctive artform I work with. I enjoy the dance of it and the life for its moment music gives.

I value the music of words becuase of their meaning and play.

Much of my visual work is created in the digital realm with light. I use a variety of tools and painting techniques to assist me. After I manipulate and fine-tune the line, forms and composition, I am ready to apply an array of tonal techniques I have learned through my photographic work.

More recently, in my visual workflow, I sometimes use ai as part of my creative process. You may be interested in reading The Artist And Artificial Intelligence at 500 Portraits, which lays out my approach and thoughts, and more generally of my ideas about my practice and aesthetics at The Craft of Art.

My hope is that my creative journey produces art that captivates you, is thought-provoking, and draws you back, for it is only on our return that we begin to love.
