Artist Statement.
I am a multidisciplinary artist, designer, and photographer with over 30 years of creative experience. I created VideoPainter and Abstract Captivism™ to explore the human form as a living canvas, where projected light, photography, digital imagery, and imagination converge.
Each artwork begins with a real person and a moment captured through my lens. Drawing upon decades of experience with traditional and emerging creative technologies, I transform these moments into original compositions that celebrate individuality, emotion, and artistic expression.
My vision is to push the boundaries of contemporary art, creating works that are not simply viewed, but experienced — where the human subject becomes an essential part of the artwork itself.

ABSTRACT CAPTIVISM™
ab·stract cap·ti·vism | /ˈabˌstrakt ˈkap-tə-ˌvi-zəm/noun
Definition: An artistic movement and creative philosophy that combines abstraction with live visual captivation, using color, form, light, imagery, technology, artificial intelligence and the human figure to create immersive works designed to capture attention and evoke emotion. Abstract Captivism™ emphasizes the transformation of subjects and environments into visually compelling compositions where traditional boundaries between artist, model, medium, and technology converge as part of the creative process.
