ARTIST STATEMENT

I choose the digital medium for its power to combine and synthesize various artistic effects, producing a host of visuals that would not be possible with any natural medium. Beyond this, the extraordinary options of art software allow for a superior inventive flow in the development of an image. As a perennial student of Art History, I feel fortunate to have available to me creative tools of which the great masters could have only dreamed.

My art reflects my abiding optimism and faith in the order of our world. I work shapes and colors towards an expressive whole that will have the power to evoke emotion, sensuality, and spirituality. I employ the suggestion of backlighting or inner glow, which I believe elicits a near-universal response of warmth and gratification. My artist's lexicon of transparency, juxtaposition, and spatial ambiguity poses a bid for viewer involvement.
