I like to draw spontaneously, letting shapes and curves emerge intuitively and play off one another in the moment. The lines and edges of my drawing are crisp, clean and fluid. I’ve found that when I add paint to these drawings by traditional methods, the body of the paint compromises and diminishes the original purpose of the drawing’s lines.

So, I developed a digital painting technique—I scan the drawing and paint it using pixels in Photoshop. This method preserves the sharpness and flow of each gesture.

The plush red-pink orb sweeping in from the upper right corner of Cherry looks, to me, like a maraschino cherry being shot from a cannon that’s just about to bounce off the curves that are waiting below. Squiggles, smudges, accents, and directional marks lead the eye in a rhythmic tour around the composition creating a choreography of shapes, colors and markings.

This piece offers multiple places for the eye to land—moments to pause—while forming an overall movement that hopscotches across different planes, all at once.
