As a graphic artist and composer of electronic music, I have, for several years, explored connections between the two media. The visual works shown here bring recognizable shapes and icons into the virtual world. These highly colored images display repeated patterns of movement, similar to the rhythmic patterns often found in my musical compositions. I created my digital images using the POVray scene description language, a public-domain programming language available for nearly all modern computing platforms. The works were then output on a Durst Lambda digital printer.

I love colorful scenes packed with forms that play around with the mysterious, exciting and bizzare. In "Paul's First" the simultaneous and contradictory feelings of joy and anxiety of becoming a father splash over into the surrounding objects, which vibrate with bright colors, spatial distortion and swirls of emotion. In "Guitar Girl" and "SaxMan" lone figures engage in the relatively common activity of playing music. But the combination of undulating lines, pure colors and strong lighting, as well as the simplification and stylization of forms, turn the common into the surreal. Often my process of finding a subject is random. I find whole scenes emerging with no particular plan, almost like images in a dream. Once an image takes shape I'll direct it, but it's a mystery how I arrive at the initial ideas that become final paintings. For now I intend to continue in this direction with only slight modifications. I enjoy the discovery and playfulness of this approach.

My primary goal is to create a space which will never become boring for a viewer - one in which their changing emotions, circumstances and moods will discover different nuances. Using the words of Max Beckman, I am trying “to make the invisible visible.” Marks of color may first appear haphazard, but at length, images may appear - not necessarily intentionally on my part. Viewers will see different figures, spaces or structures. The effect is similar to gazing at the clouds on a summer afternoon and seeing flying horses and sailboats within them. The colors of the organic gestures are affected/chosen by my emotions. In turn, an individual and emotional response to color, space, movement, etc. will be evoked within each viewer.
