Like scientists, artists study materials and tradition to turn abstract information into concise works of art.
The work I produce reflects the personal marriage I have made between the highly sophisticated devices of digital technology and modern science with subjective, intuitive, impulses of Abstract Expressionism. This offers me a strong and powerful connection between both worlds. I work at a subliminal level
I was raised by art historians, Charles and Florence Montgomery, who imbued my childhood with the wonders of art. They provided experiences and exposures to both the history and the current trends in architecture, the decorative arts of painting and sculpture around the world. Of the many books and exhibits that I saw, the international abstract exhibition at the Hague at the age of 14 defined my life’s direction. The power of the work ignited an inspiration and sent me on the road to becoming an abstract artist.
Now, decades later, with a large collection of digital work and insights gained by creating abstract images using cutting edge technology, I have come full circle and returned to painting full time. Having a professional gallery and studio for painting and building new works has empowered me with purpose and vigor.
Digital Art Work
The computer allows me to manipulate free form layers of color and shapes into unlikely expression with full control.
Many different applications have been used over the years to produce the work shown here. Please feel free to write with questions of observations.
Paintings
The paintings shown here were begun mid September 2014. I painted for many years up to around 1989 when I was able to start learning and experimenting with computers. I enjoy returning to the free form methods I employed in my youth and through art school. As I work with overlapping pigment in many ways they begin to take on a life of their own. Eventually forming some sort of reference to space and design. The rest is up to the viewers imagination.
