Artist Statement
For a good portion of my career, I have been comfortable working with traditional materials and using classical techniques to anchor myself and learn as an artist. In recent years however my work has adapted to digital formats which has opened up many avenues in which i can concentrate my skills. I’m attracted to the colorful, the chaotic, and the abstract within painting in general and in this way I can strike a strong balance between the simple illustrative qualities in a painting and the complex detail of digital work. One of my main goals is focusing my craft into designs to be eventually viewed on the screen such as with concept art for film or gaming, and my work will likely continue in this direction as those industries pioneer into the future of digital creativity.
