VOICE CHANGING SOFTWARE FOR COUNTER STRIKE SERIES
Launching my first NFT series with Ocean Drop brings all of these things full-circle. Almost without expecting it, some have the feeling of future climate-change portraits, as if channeled without direct control. With that came the discovery that painting waves is a more flexible metaphor than any of my previous painting subjects, as the experience of creating the many different versions of them takes me into an increasingly zoomed-out visualization of the land and water as cosmic entities. Over the years, while producing the Wave Series, this work has become a meditative, portal-like artistic and regenerative next step. This then morphed into an interesting self-imposed challenge to paint waves in a way that is the opposite of gimmicky, something that would feel new and captivating. This led to painting more futuristic, abstract, open pathways which reflect our present-day earthly resonance. After years of making emotionally graphic paintings containing military objects and devastated landscapes, I developed an overwhelming desire for more energetically alive visions. The nature and light of my neighborhood, the land I live on and water I swim in, affects my artistic expression with dream-like atmospheres. Being a 22-year participant in the Los Angeles and Venice, CA art world, I have developed a unique and deep visual relationship with my coastal community. Obsessing over the vibrancy and juxtapositions of paint, I have cultivated color and light skills to create planet-inspired, expanded vistas for my artwork. I am honored to be a contributing artist for Ocean Drop.Īs a student of the Duesseldorf Art Academy, studying painting under Dutch artist Jan Dibbets, the foundations of old-world European art-making and German Expressionism were the first building blocks of my art exploration. To now have that piece utilized to support the dolphins of the Cocos islands working with The Open Earth Foundation, makes the idea that art changes the world not just a dream but a reality. When I painted the Dolphin Commemorative painting in honor of Molly Lavik’s late husband, I felt something bigger than me was occurring.
