Digital Art and the future…
Art and technology have always been closely linked (even long before DaVinci drew plans of his inventions). The distinctions between different types of art – painting, sculpture, architecture, craft – are artificial. Artists have always been quick to utilize new tools and materials; change is an integral part of the artistic process.

Computers and digital photography provide a new means of producing art – both as a new “canvas” to display our creations, and as a new form of “paint” with which we create. The options are many: significantly altering digital photographs, scanning painted surfaces into digital form for manipulating into new forms, directly painting/drawing digitally or a mix of techniques. Creations can be printed on paper, canvas, plastic, aluminum – or displayed electronically. The options keep growing in number.
Keep checking in to see what new techniques I try next!
