My Defining Moment:
Growing up in the 1960’s I was introduced to electronic music, an artform created by human composers and produced through emerging electronic technologies. My father, a professor of music theory and composition and resident composer in our city, had me engrossed in his exploration in using machines to create art. His experimentation with pure synthesized sound, generated through electrical signals, amplified, phase shifted, wave manipulated segments of audio without the use of any known ancient or modern physical analog instrumentation was exhilarating. I was transfixed by what he did during that period, but the moment of transformation of my life’s trajectory was when he invited composer Morton Subotnick to the college for the annual Contemporary Music Festival in 1978. Mr. Subotnick had composed “Silver Apples of the Moon”, and “Wild Bull” among many other works. My introduction to and days spent as a teenager with Mr. Subotnick changed my outlook on creativity. Forever. Mr. Subotnick assembled an experiential room at my father’s college, reactive to our movements as we passed through, with electronic sound and visual imagery.

I saw the future of art. A technology art.

My Background:
Raised in an environment of art and music attending the National Music Camp at Interlochen, Michigan, I discovered an early fascination with creative expression and visual experimentation. While studying architecture at Texas Tech University, I explored the intersection of art, music, film, and graphic design with architecture, establishing a foundation for a lifelong pursuit of integrating the arts as my creative process. I practiced architecture in eight states from 1988 through 2021.

Recognized in the 1990s for pioneering work in New Media, I later served as an advisor to The University of Texas at Dallas and presented nationally and internationally on the evolving role of digital media in art, design, and architecture. In 2008, I founded liquidoranges STUDIO, expanding my work into art rugs, architectural glass, fine china and digitally translated design objects.

Since 2021, I have devoted my practice entirely to Techspressionist digital painting. Each work is developed from a blank digital canvas through a highly controlled process of composition, layering, and visual orchestration. My artworks are exhibited in juried shows and held in public and private collections.

In 2021 during the Pandemic I found myself in a new place with new inspirations. I pulled together a compilation of years of work leading up to this moment, each with its own story, as part of my trajectory. I wrote “Selected Works". It was an opportunity to revisit all the past works from a reflection perspective, reliving some of the moments of discovery, analysis, interpretation and synthesis. It is a reminder that I really need to make a new book showing the continuation of the path I follow.
