Behind the Work
Modern digital prints often lack the rich color, texture, and fine detail of traditional acrylic or oil paintings. In my work, I strive to push digital art to its visual limits, blending physical and digital tools to create printable fine art. This meticulous approach allows me to achieve a depth and richness in my prints often absent in purely digital creations, ensuring each piece is not only a work of art but also a testament to the possibilities of modern technology combined with traditional techniques.
I collaborate with an experimental print shop that specializes in printing on almost any flat surface. Over the years, I have explored printing my work on various materials, including paper, canvas, wood, and metal. This versatility allows me to match the medium to the message of each piece, enhancing the overall impact of the artwork. Each material brings its unique qualities to the final product, whether it’s the warmth of wood, the sleekness of metal, or the classic appeal of canvas.
My journey into this form of art began in college, where I first attempted to teach my computer to print images that could be mistaken for oil paintings. This early experimentation laid the foundation for my current work, combining digital precision with the tactile qualities of traditional media. Throughout my career as an educator, I continued to refine these techniques, incorporating insights from graphic design, ceramics, photography, and drawing. This interdisciplinary approach has enriched my art, allowing me to incorporate a wide range of influences and methods into my practice.
In 2019, I moved to California to pursue my dream of becoming a full-time artist. Since then, I have been fortunate enough to research, photograph, paint, and experiment with my work every day. This dedication to my craft has allowed me to push the boundaries of what digital art can achieve, creating pieces that resonate with viewers on multiple levels. My relocation to California has provided me with new inspirations and opportunities, fueling my creative process and enabling me to grow as an artist.
