| Introduction | In 1972, several years after I graduated from art school with a BFA, I stopped painting with traditional media and began exploring audio as a medium for creative expression. For many years I created audio pieces assembled on analog equipment supported by my day job as a freelance location sound engineer in the motion picture business, which provided a worldwide arena in which to collect sound effects for an expanding audio library - my palette. However, in the early 1980s, my library of sound began to grow beyond control. In an effort to get it back to a useful state, I started exploring the new desk top computer as a sound indexing and organizational tool. The astounding power of computer programming totally absorbed me. Within six months I sold my sound biz and emerged as a freelance computer programmer. Then in the early 1990s when desktop computers and graphics programs had evolved into useful creative tools, I began painting again, not with traditional media, but with pixels. In 2000, I began seeking commissions as an illustrator using the digital medium. Then, in November of 2006, I started working with oils again for my personal artwork - coming full circle. |
