More than anything else, I am an abstract painter. That sensibility applies whether I work with burned wood, discarded computer hardware, digital images, or paint itself. In the process of creating, I do not distinguish between virtual and real brushes, or between digital printouts and painted canvas. Nor does it stop there. Some works are traditional sculpture, some are printouts that have been painted over. Whenever "new media" such as computer plays role, it is to extend the tradition of fine art and not as a tool of applied arts. There is nothing there to suggest that I have abandoned traditional painting. Always, what counts is the idea and the eye.
