I have committed to riding in the 2012 AIDS Lifecycle. It is a week long 545 mile event going from San Francisco to Los Angeles, California. As part of my participating in the event I’ve committed to raising $3,000. From now until December 31, 2011, all of my proceeds from sales on redbubble will be donated to the 2012 AIDS Lifecycle.

I believe that art should be enjoyable. It can inspire and evoke emotions. That is what I try and do with my art. Evoke a mood or feeling. Sometimes though, a pretty picture is just a pretty picture and that is a good thing.

I began drawing in my early teens. I’ve worked in oils, acrylics, Prismacolor, pastels and other traditional media. In the late 90s I began experimenting with digital. My methods are traditional but instead of paint and canvas, I use a computer. The screen becomes my canvas, the mouse/pen my brush. Each image is built up brush stroke by stoke.

I like to experiment and sometimes that means pure digital manipulation or the fusion of digital manipulation with more traditional styles. Filters, lighting effects, combined with traditional brush strokes. It is all fair game.
