I'm the youngest child
of a large, boisterous family. Growing up most of my siblings were more
or less creative types: a cartoonist, an architect, a writer and several
musicians. So, from a very young age I was surrounded by a lot of
creative energy and I began to draw regularly as a small child.
Basically, I just never stopped.
I was trained in traditional medium and I have to say that I've come to
really prefer working in digital medium. The computer’s "palette" offers
an almost incomprehensible amount of freedom. Indeed, the digital medium
allows me to explore the boundaries of my imagination in a way that
traditional materials simply could not hope to allow. I consider digital
painting the new frontier in world of art.
A lot of my work reflects my experience working in the videogame
industry. You'll find a lot of "flash” and vibrant color. But my
influences and interests are far broader. They range from the "lowbrow"
(action movies, magna, comic books and pin up girls) to classical
portraiture and the art of the Italian Renaissance. I don't really care
if it originates with Frank Miller or Michelangelo as long as it works.
Basically, I'm a visual eclectic. Evoking the spirit of the "pin-up
girl" and classic portraiture, I want to offer a digital age take on
familiar subject matter. I seek to create art that does not call
attention to its digital origin. Ultimately, I just create images that I
like and hope they speak to others in some way.
