INTERVIEW
I am fortunate to work in a building with several talented artists. Nick Wilton is a successful Bay Area Painter and the founder of the Art2Life art program. He sat down with me to talk about my work and my journey as an artist. Let me know what you think!
Nick Wilton of Art2Life Academy interviewed me for his “Inspiration” series. It was an honor to sit down with him and talk about where I am and where I’m going.
ALTERNATIVE PROCESS: HOW I MAKE MY “DIGITALLY PAINTED ORIGINALS”
USING NEW TOOLS FOR CREATIVE EXPRESSION
Unlike my oils on canvas, these limited-edition archival prints are “digitally painted” originals - richly produced in on high-quality archival watercolor paper. Each print is hand numbered and signed. For my digital paintings, my process often begins with cruddy photos taken on an iPhone that I print out as only as a reference. I then use my digital drawing program (Artrage Deluxe) where I push the limits of cutting-edge creative software. By using a pressure-sensitive stylus and a Wacom tablet, I can get very realistic brush work. Paint strokes and pastels are made using ArtRage software and a computer stylus with output to paper that is almost indistinguishable from hand painted work. Ultimately, I combine the digital with the traditional and complete the work output to paper, wood or canvas.

WORKING IN WITH OIL, ACRYLIC AND MIXED MEDIA
For my oil & acrylic/mixed media work, I often use a digital painting that I’ve made and used it as a starting point for a larger piece painted on canvas or wood. “I believe the results are more important than the tools used to create them. I take enormous inspiration from artists like David Hockney who move fluidly from one medium to another, and embrace digital tools to create the effects he wants.”
