My current artwork is inspired by pop culture of movies, television, politics, historical figures and events. I am interested in creating dialogue about what in pop culture is familiar to other people and how this familiarity affected people’s lives and relates to current times, events. My paintings are produced by images found on the internet that have been manipulated, processed and recomposed into new compositions on my computer using Photoshop. These compositions are then projected from my computer onto the painting surface, drawn out in pencil and then hand painted. I think of these as similar to mash up or hip hop music with internet images as visual (instead of musical) samples deconstructed then reconstructed into new art forms. I consider these hand painted computer prints.
