reality is an illusion Painting

Artist’s Statement At the age of 12, I purchased a “Jr Photographers Printing Kit” for $1.99, and with those few packets of chemicals and photo paper, I printed my first small photo from an old 35MM negative. Watching that photo come to life in a small tray was like magic. I was hooked, and still am. Many years later, the technology has changed, but the magic is still there. In recent years my focus has been away from photography and into the worlds of digital art, and painting in the abstract and abstract expressionist mode In my work, colors, lines, and shapes shift and play off each other, creating a new image, all in an effort to elicit a reaction, or an emotion from the viewer. Limits like rules are to be avoided. Each piece is unique and entirely the product of my imagination expressed on the canvas. The image speaks for itself.
