Girl and Horse 3.5 x 2.1 meters
As a professional working visual artist, my passion is oil painting. I lecture and teach on merging traditional oil painting techniques with new technology and materials. Recent series include Insect Hotels, Turkey-Syria Earthquake, Formula 1, Dog & Camel, and Crossing which have used NFC's to link audio and video under paint to engage viewers and document the making.
In my Kentucky Studio I have begun a new series of large oil on canvas works entitled, Girl and Horse. This series holds my interest on many levels. One part is my intrigue with the Middle East and at the same time re-establishing myself back in my home state of Kentucky. I use the thoroughbred horse as a common thread. The Girl and the Horse Series is a statement about the challenges creatives face with generative artificial intellegence.
