I am a Photographer, Painter, and Traveler, and a Computer Programmer by trade. I love adventure and seeing and experiencing new things.
I have a BFA in Painting and Drawing and my artistic leanings have always been towards oil painting on canvas, but with the dawn of the digital age, and my knowledge and experience in computers, I rediscovered my love for the camera and through digital media, I am able to turn my photography into digital paintings.
I have found that oftentimes old school naturalist and realist photography can sometimes feel to personal and real, so through digital manipulation I am able to de-personify some scenes and images, and create a more animated cartoon feel, which can separate the viewer from what otherwise may seem to personal or lifelike.
However, on occasion, I still do enjoy capturing something very real or natural from the organic world, so my style will swing from a very macro high resolution shot of a Wildflower, to a Cartoonist Digitally Manipulated Still Life, to a Digitally Painted Travel or Life Scene reminiscent of the great 20th Century Painter Edward Hopper.
Through it all, I hope to create something beautiful that will bring joy and happiness to someones life.
