About the Artist,
“I love working in the digital medium, it is perfectly suited to our vibrant southern light - there’s nothing quite like painting with light.”
I fell in love with my first computer - a glorified typewriter with a crude graphics capability and a scintillating stop-frame animation function. Hooked, I studied graphic design at Randwick Tech, just before the broadcast industry transformed, virtually overnight, to computer graphics (CGI).
Transitioning to digital was exciting, though, I missed the coppery smell of the dark room, treasure chests full of paper and card stock, the swampy moonscape of the spray glue booth, and the psychedelic airbrush cubicle, guaranteed to make your head spin. The only thing I didn’t miss was the occupational hazard of the spray booths - at the end of the day, when you blew your nose, you’d produce your very own Jackson Pollock.”
My classical training continues to underpin my strategic and creative vision, grounded in typography, composition, colour theory and visual logic. And I love how art meets tech. We take our tech for granted these days but our CGI pioneers deserve a nod. There’s nothing quite like painting with light.
