about the artist

UPDATE/NOVEMBER/2007: all that copy below says I wrecked my hand doing so much digital. Then I drew a lot with the other hand. Now I'm working on a series called SMALL UNIVERSES. Joseph Cornell meets Robert Rauschenberg meets me. I added "Infinity" from this series. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ PREVIOUS UPDATE FOR MAY, 2007: "Low Tech/High Tech"::::Bruce Price’s Open Studio show appeared in May and continues by appointment.

artists' statement

PLEASE SEE BIO UPDATE: The goal of my digital work is to push the limits of what pure digital can do. Photographs and scanned material are not used. All paintings start on a blank screen...My belief, from the start, is that the future of digital is in fine art...All work is signed, numbered, in editions of 10.... (Digital art, like photography, can be printed at a range of sizes. My work is typically offered at 11 x 14, with a white mat in a 16 x 20 frame. )
