I live in Moriarty, New Mexico. A small town, about thirty miles east of Albuquerque and fifty miles south of Santa Fe. I've lived in New Mexico forty years and been in the arts practically my entire life.
My work is traditional in style and Southwestern in theme. I publish my own prints and do commissioned artwork for others. If your interest is a commercial project, a portrait or restoration of a family photo. Your request for an estimate or additional information is always welcome.
Many of the Giclée print's shown in this electronic studio. Have been developed from start to finish, using today's computer and printing technology.
Fifteen years ago I began exploring the computer's potential for creating art. Four years ago I got serious about the experiment. Today, I've become one of an emerging new breed of artists. Artist's applying skills and knowledge to a new art medium. Instead of brush, paint, and canvas; it's pixels, bytes, and light. But art is still art....and it requires the same old energy, effort, and skill it always has....computer or no computer.
What is a Giclée print?
Giclée is a French word. It means "the spraying of paint". A term used today, to refer to a unique printing technology. A technology that employs a sophisticated computer system, proprietary software, and a digital printer. The Giclée process produces (on canvas or 100% rag paper) one of the highest quality fine art prints available. Giclée prints are known to be used by the Louvre to display certain works of art normally kept in the museum's basement vaults.
Those introductory comments aside, may I close with this colloquialism by an old rancher friend of mine. He said; Gene!....always remember; there's great power in words....just don't hitch too many of them together!
I hope you find my work interesting. If you have questions, an e-mail message to (Predika Studio) will bring you a quick response. Thanks again for stopping by.
