“I am an image junky, always amused by people, places, and existing imagery. I paint from old photographs, original drawings, stills from home movies, video grabs, and photography. I enjoy scanning images and digitally playing with them on my computer. I then paint many of my final images on wood, canvas, or metal using acrylic paint and a variety of media. I often paint freehand with an airbrush, without the use of masking materials. This creates a soft feathered-edge effect.”
