Throughout my life I have always had a greater visual sense about how the world looked versus other senses.  This visual dominance in perceiving the world has profoundly affected my work as an artist. My art offers an infinite variety of visual perceptions and interpretations for the viewer. The viewer is told what the “real Life” image is in the title of the piece, but through abstraction and reconstruction of that image, the viewer is then asked and challenged to explore the shapes, colors, movements and forms, which the abstraction and reconstruction presents.  Colors and shapes become emotion, while form and movement become attitude.  Even when a work is easily recognized there is still a predominate thread of color, movement, shape and form. The techniques to achieve these photographic abstractions and reconstructions are a thoughtful and purposeful digital manipulation.  Using a mouse rather than a brush to achieve a powerful medium of expression and communication creates this style of fine art.
