Thaddeus Macy

b.1948 New York City / Painter and printmaker.

My interests straddle two different and often separate worlds: technology and fine arts.

With formal graduate and undergraduate study in drawing and painting, I am a painter and printmaker. After working for many nearly a decade in digital media (what I call call "digital printmaking.), I recently (2010) changed direction. After coming across a box of photos that I taken along the Maine coast 30 years ago as potential subjects for a series of work, I found myself so drawn to them that I began to paint.

My digital prints are hand drawn using a stylus on a pressure sensitive digital drawing tablet connected to a computer. Editions are printed on archival artist papers with inkjet printers. Here are a few of my digital prints.
