Above - one of my newer digital prints, Dreaming, which was conceived for our granddaughter (the ballerina) & which was recently seen in a show at the Technology Garden in downtown Syracuse. *********** I've chosen to include here 'retrospective' images of the various media in which I've worked over the years. Artists are given to experimentation. There is an excitement involved - a sort of natural evolution of style & technique. At present, I'm deeply involved with computer graphics - but some things never change. My love of drawing, for instance. My sketching materials still travel with me wherever I go...
Sandwich Salt Marsh:watercolor Cranberry Bog - Computer Graphic 2 Pears: watercolor Dory: Computer Graphic Salt Marsh - Maine: screened monoprint About my recent work with computer graphics: Some call them ‘digital prints’. I prefer the term ‘computer graphics’ because I have done traditional prints—linocuts, serigraphs and woodcuts—in the past. The word ‘print’ is often used interchangibly as a descriptive term for reproductions of paintings or drawings that are produced by a mechanical printing press. My computer pieces are not reproductions. Creating original art on the computer is a relatively new field—a new medium—and I suppose the terms will eventually ‘shake out’ into uniformity. It is interesting that so many different people, in experimenting with the computer as an art medium, produce such widely diverging results—their own ‘style’ is as marked as that of artists working with traditional media. My computer prints are the equivalent of traditional printmaking techniques—in that the original design is conceived & executed on the computer, just as linoleum and woodcuts are done on the wood or linoleum block; the serigraph is done on the silk screen; the lithograph is done on the stone; the etching is done on the metal plate.
