DIGITAL IS THE NEW FRONTIER FOR ARTISTS.
It is the cutting edge of art in this century. This includes still images, graphics, animation, video, music, performance, the internet, anything that uses digital media and electronic technology to produce new art forms.
Creating imagery with the computer has become a major exploration and passion for me as a digital artist. I first experienced the computer in 1985 and immediately saw it's potential to make still images that had not been experienced before, a kind of art that fascinated me as an artist. The computer could create an imagery not available through other traditional art processes. Later I discovered more new digital areas such as video, sound, animation, and was blown away by even more new possibilities.
My explorations as a digital artist has taken many directions. Recently I have concentrated on making Shaped Digital Canvases where some floral elements push beyond the picture edge, a long standing interest of mine. Before that I created many still Floral Digital Collage works, the primary focus of my attention and interest for several years. In Mixed Media Paintings I add an exploration of the boundaries between old and new media. Finally my Photography has become transformed by the infusion of digital technology and discovery of computer collaging possibilities."

It expands and stimulates your visual senses. Moreover it can delight others who visit such as your friends and relatives. Finally and perhaps most important it brings you pleasure.

How to choose your
Art Work
So you have decided to purchase some art for your home. The next step, choosing the art, can be both challenging and fun. One way to start is to look around your nearby local neighborhood and see if there are art galleries or museums you can visit. Do certain artists who you see on exhibit capture your imagination? Does their work excite you? Another place to visit are local art fairs. Often good artists display and sell their works there. Sometimes talented younger artists display their works in local venues such as small local galleries, coffee bars, restaurants, libraries, bank lobbies, etc. Look in these places for some exciting works by interesting and creative artists.
What might you expect to pay for artworks?
Artwork like anything else varies in prices, and sometimes very dramatically. In large cities like New York, San Francisco, Chicago, etc., you can expect to pay higher price because the galleries there usually show works of more well established artists and just because it costs more to run a gallery there. Prices in smaller cities are often less because the artists who show there may be less well known and the operating costs are less. But don't be fooled. Many times some of the most interesting and creative works are found outside big cities and can be purchased much more reasonably.
Another route for a purchaser is to approach the artist directly. Any artist who exhibits in a gallery expects to pay a commission of 30%-60% of the full sale amount. If you go to the artist directly you may be able to reach an agreement whereby the price is without the gallery markup. And you may also get a fantastic work of art. So look around your neighborhood.
