My work provides an optimistic view of technology’s role in shaping our identity and relationships with each other. The subjects are strangers to me, just as they are to the viewer of the finished work. Being a visual artist, I use my eyes to learn about the person, and in the process find commonalities between us. Knitting (a form of binary code) is included because of its continuous flow of fibers that mirrors our interconnectedness as people. These pieces are created using new and old machines. Incorporating technology in the process reflects my life with metal implants; as I am a balance between organic and inorganic so should my art. #drawing #art #knitting #digitalart #creativereels #digitalartforbeginners #arttiktoks #artandcraft #artist #knittingforbeginners #knittingmachine #knittingdesigns #drawingdog #dogdrawing #artstudio #artstudiotour #portraitart #womandrawing #mandrawing #lifedrawing

Obviously, I love creating digital art and it’s flexibility, portability, economy, and decreased waste. However, I’m so happy I started my art journey with traditional media like charcoal and oils. Those media have built within them limitations. I think it was much faster for me to learn important art elements like varied line weight, contrast, color mixing etc…with the traditional media. When I did start using digital drawing tools I had a strong foundation and had developed a vision for what I wanted my artwork to look like. I didn’t end up getting lost in all the expansive options that comes with digital tools. If I were just starting to make art today I’d aim to work at least 80% in traditional media and 20% in digital.
