Digital Art, Oil Painting
As an artist I probably have a somewhat unconventional background. My formal educational training consisted of a PhD Degree in Engineering and Applied Mathematics, and I spent most of my life working in high technology development and project management. Although I was always interested in art, I just never did anything about it. When I retired, however, I said "enough". I'm going to train my "right brain" to do something useful. Consistent with my technical background, I focused originally on Digital Art, using Photoshop as the creative platform (and I currently teach classes in Photoshop at a local college). As time went on, though, I evolved into oil painting, acrylics, and mixed media. My subject matters also became quite eclectic, including general Pastoral Scenes, "Georgia O'Keefe" -style flowers, People and Pet portraits, "Banksy"-style art forms, Abstract Paintings, etc.
I hope you enjoy the results of what has now become my life's passion.
