Transmutations Series
      The word "Transmutations" implies the transformation of one thing into another. The "seed image that I start with can be anything from a photograph I have previously taken to objects placed on a scanner. The end result, however, is an image bearing little to no resemblance to the "seed" image because it has been re-visualized through the medium of the computer. My work has been featured on the cover and inside the Jan/Feb 2006 issue of IEEE Computer Graphics magazine and I am one of 17 artists who's method of working is featured in Going Digital: The Practice and Vision of Digital Artists by Joe Nalven and JD Jarvis. A chapter is devoted to my creative process.

Materializing the Immaterial
      "Digital Art is created and stored in a non-material form on the computer's memory systems and must be made physical, usually in the form of prints on paper or some other form of printmaking substrate. In addition, digital art may be exchanged and appreciated directly on a computer screen in gallery situations or simultaneously in every place on the globe with access to the web. Being immaterial has its advantages and with the advent of high quality digital printing techniques a very traditional long lasting print of this electronic artwork can be produced.
      Digital art is "electro-plastic" art, which is to say that it is light pretending to be pigment whereas traditional painting was pigment pretending to be light. Digital art is the immaterial made material, which is to say that it is Art as we have always known it. Computers have not changed what artists do, only the way in which we do it. These electronic tools give the art an often distinctive and exciting new look and pose real challenges to artists who explore these new avenues. Welcome to art of the 21st century."
