During the creation of this series of digital images I was playing around with the notion of creating a kind of contemporary version of Art Deco. The Art Deco movement was popular during the early years of the 20th century. I found it interesting because of it's eclectic nature. Art Deco artist and designers looked to China, Japan, India, Persia,as well as, ancient Egypt and Mayan art. The art they made had a bold look that used geometric elements, triangular shapes, zigzags, vibrant colors and stylized floral patterns. The Art Deco artist used a variety of other visual devises to create a distinctive new style. There was also an interest in the new technologies that were emerging at the time.
The imagery in this series is an attempt to bring those influences into the early part of the 21st century. Garden View 13 uses a decorative motif to visualize the colors and shapes of the spring season while exploring contemporary digital technology applications as fine art.

I think it's possible that beauty can save the world. Then will come a time when civility, reason and respect will replace fear, loathing and mad dog greed. Art will be life and life will be art. That's where I come in. I'm an artist. I promote beauty and creativity with an open mind and a love of nature. My imagery is built around a concept. After a central idea is established I explore possibilities within a set of creative and aesthetic parameters. From my perspective visual art is idea, expression, experience and process fused to create a perceptual synergy.
Nature has always played an important role in my art. In the late seventies and early eighties it was the focal point of several commissioned installations in Seattle and Chicago. During the next two decades or so landscape painting and drawing were my primary areas of interest. The work was exhibited in minor venues in Washington and Hawaii.
It was in 2005 when I bought my first computer and digital camera. The initial attraction was the speed that imagery could be produced. It was exciting to work at the speed of idea where the time span between concept and image was short. What followed has been a nonstop process of photography and editing. Presented here is an assortment of images that are a visual record of that activity.
