Profile
I am an artist based in the Blue Mountains in New South Wales, Australia. I create digital paintings which are printed once and once only to either paper or canvas. I believe work created using a computer has a place as fine art along side work created with brush and oils, or watercolours, or crayons, or camera, or spraycan, or stick and ocre or whatever. Furthermore, I have no doubt that had this technology been available to many great artists of the past, they would have employed it without hesitation. My work can be seen at the Event Horizon Gallery. I invite you to check it out.
