I have only just started exhibiting again this year, after 12 years working with computer graphics, web design. I actually had a creative block for my art during for most of this time, but came back to studio work two years ago. It has been an awesome emotional journey to regain my art, and with new strength and depth.
Technically it feels like no time has past, and I do also see how much my computer work has given me. I was print-maker as well as a painter and sculptor, and translating through medium has always been a part of my work process.
I have been participating in Plein Air painting group shows over the past few years, and am developing my themes from what I see and experience in natural landscapes. I'm expecting to continue to go towards more abstract imagery, but with a base in representation.
