I create textured oil paintings inspired by digital art, nature, and pointillism. Each piece begins with a photograph I’ve taken, which I then manipulate using Lightroom and Photoshop. The image is processed through a web application I built to aid in color selection and placement. Each paint “pixel” is applied to the wood panel with a quarter-inch flathead screwdriver, adding a unique texture that represents the symbiotic relationship between the digital and organic worlds. My work offers a hopeful vision for a future where technological advancements coexist harmoniously with nature, rather than destroy it.
