I was raised in New York City and studied painting with my grand father Frederick Charles Fritz. His love of landscape captured my imagination. I was adventurous and found my tropical islands early on when I was 22 years of age and the Hawaiian islands were snoozing in the sun with few people on the outer islands. The tropical flora totally amazed me then as it continues to now. I have painted my interpretations of them from the beginning. Some twenty years ago I found my first Apple computer and quickly fell in love with digital. I drift in and out of freehand drawing to photo essays of what I see and feel around me. Color and transparency along with elements of texture are what I pursue as my end art product/image. That is the actual beauty of the digital experience; once you create the image it is easily transferred into any medium. Anyhow ...Enjoy or not...so it is with art.
