Since the 1980s, I have been involved with computer graphics equipment. I sold the systems, demonstrated them, and founded a graphic design business using them, so I am extremely comfortable using technology in a variety of ways. With this painting, I’ve been using technology to test different treatments I want to try with oil paints on canvas before I squeeze paint out onto my glass palette. It is like sending a search party out on a trail or checking maps before committing to the entire journey. I try different color schemes and compositions. I believe that you have to use whatever tools make you the most creative. A computer, a stylus, and a drawing tablet work for me.

These daily studio notes lead toward my 2026 solo exhibitions in New York City and  Poughkeepsie, NY.
