The artworks in the thumbnails below is a curated sample of some recent gallery additions.  It is not a comprehensive list of everything in the gallery.  My gallery contains an evolution of work from the time I first started doing digital art until the present.  Not all of it is good—and all of it is far from perfect.  

Bu that's okay because I like imperfection.  In art, perfection is treachery. Humanity is imperfect, so as an audience we do not feel a natural connection to things we do not perceive to be like us. In any visual medium, we want to see unevenness, asymmetry and randomness and even mistakes because there's uniqueness and beauty in imperfection.   The Treachery of Images (La trahison des images) is a painting by Belgian surrealist Rene Magritte. The picture shows a pipe. Below it, Magritte painted, "Ceci n'est pas une pipe", French for "This is not a pipe." The painting is not a pipe, but rather an image of a pipe, which was Magritte's point.

So beware of the treachery of images.
