I began working with digital graphics in the early 1980s for a company named Chyron. I sold computer graphics devices and electronic paint systems to the broadcast television industry for about a decade. Then I established my own graphic design business focused on that industry since I knew all the small and medium sized companies who needed their sales collateral material branded and designed. Having created my first website in 1995, the year after the internet was introduced, I was able to repurpose my client’s work from print onto the websites I created for them. Since that time, I have gone back and forth between digital and traditional media for creating my art although even my traditional paintings are usually composed in Photoshop. There is always a digital component to my thinking and it’s embedded in my workflow. I have heard about the group Techspressionists for years now but finally took the plunge and joined one of their zoom meetings. It felt great to hear the speakers talk so comfortably about technology. It’s rare that I am able to communicate with artists who use computers to create in such a broad variety of styles. It felt like I was coming home to friends.

I began this daily journal in February, 2026 as I prepared for my solo exhibition, “Portraits From My Garden” at Locust Grove in Poughkeepsie, NY, from June 5 – September 15, 2026, my work for the group show, “Hearing Women’s Voices” at the Ceres Gallery in from June 23. to July 18, 2026, and my upcoming November 2026, solo exhibition titled, “Centering in the Midst of Chaos” in Chelsea, New York City
