Originally trained in representational oil painting and sculpture, I later explored other media including: etching, silk screen, jewelry, costume design, digital set design, video, animation, digital painting, and digital 3D.
Structure, harmony, and beauty are some of the formal values that I am concerned with in my art. I view them as objective not subjective. I feel that the artist must bring a different viewpoint, distill some poetic essence, some transcendental experience or create aesthetic order, instead of simply reflecting the chaos and nihilism of the world.
For many years I have studied both the truth and beauty of Nature and of Art and the sensibility that I have developed is what I bring to my digital work, embracing many of the freedoms of the last century while formulating an evolving formal aesthetic.
