A philosopher with a
passion for self-expression, my art embodies the essence of
stillness, beauty and grace.
My
creative process expands and evolves through the daily discipline of
digital painting, writing and poetry. It is not the "digital" medium
by which I have chosen to express myself that makes me an artist. It
is a way of life. It is a way of moving through the world; aware of
all the beauty that exists.
Ultimately, my goal
as an artist is to offer a visual reference point for deeper
reflection. The aim is to open the door to an experience of art that
goes beyond the physical. Hopefully, when an observer views my work,
they witness something vibrantly alive.
Prior to becoming a fine artist in
2007, I was a branding consultant to solo entrepreneurs for
20+ years. I
helped artists, authors, lawyers, musicians, stylists, and many
others. As a branding expert, I used my artistic talents to help the
solo entrepreneur create a strong brand presence that was Distinct,
Notable and Authentic (DNA).
How did I develop my digital art
skills?
I was introduced
to digital art in the mid 80s ... do you remember MacPaint? It was
the first commercial painting software program for the personal
computer. Passionate about technology and
the advancement of digital art capabilities, I ultimately mastered the skills
of illustration and painting techniques while using them to help
brand clients.
In 2007,
I became aware that I had developed a greater pleasure through
traditional painting techniques expressed in the non-traditional way of digital painting.
That's when I left the consulting practice in order to immerse
myself in the journey of producing fine art full time.
My art
is shown in public and private collections and represented by
galleries and art consultants. I exhibit and sell at art
festivals throughout the U.S. I also teach other artists how to
define and identify their unique personal brand that helps them in
gaining greater exposure to their work.
Today, I continue
giving presentations and seminars exclusively to artists.
