PHILOSOPHY
Though I was trained in the classic tradition — to apply paint on canvas with brush — I was at the forefront of the digital painting revolution. All paintings are born on a blank canvas. The end result, the consequence of the image itself, is the only factor that defines it as art. The process is immaterial.
My paintings match each other by design. You can build a room, a house, an office, a store, a restaurant, or an entire building around them. I want to give you an opportunity to engulf yourself in in my work. Thanks for your support and for sharing my art.
