My Abstract Expressionist digital art, part photography/part painting evolve as I create them. I’ve photographed countless images. Using these, I create art with nature as my paintbrush. Focusing on the dramatic interplay of light on natural formations. Sometimes the meaning takes a hard turn or a soft spin. I follow my creative lead till it clicks. The process is very immersive and meditative. I crave the complexity that arises from my technique: 40 or more of my photos and drawings, layered and masked in Photoshop, distorted, used for texture, color, and shape. My work is dreamlike, a world of shapes and colors to get lost in. Through abstract art, I embrace the happy accident. The abstract arises, sometimes unbidden, from the concrete. My hope is that my art reaches, in the viewers mind, a place to connect with something in their subconscious that will bubble to the surface. With different environments and audiences my art will strike different chords.
