Biography
In studying for my BFA in Art with a major in printmaking I was classically trained in all forms of the discipline. After graduation I entered the pre-press commercial printing world transitioning from mechanical to digital presses. Eventually my natural design workflow included Photoshop to plan my compositions and retouch photographs. Once I retired from advertising, without deadlines or commissions, I was able to expand my skills and really explore the artistic advantages of adjustable, interactive layers, and pursue my own subject matter. I thought I would transfer my finished images to traditional media, but realized that the art was in the planning and editing. Slavish copying to traditional media was not my inclination and I found it stifled my creativity. It seemed an unnecessary step as I had already perfected my images. It was not long before I was challenging myself to stop relying on photographic pixels altogether and start creating images from scratch. Tweaking programs to do my bidding is a new way of creating, but I still I use a 27” display as my canvas and a standard mouse to control my “brush”. My realistic images, in particular the Anachronisms Series, comment on the transition from analog to digital in everyday life. My work ranges from photo manipulation of original photographs to computer generation such as fractals, drostes, and kaleidoscopes. In 2023 I started working with Rebelle 6 and a pad with stylus. This is allowing me to learn new ways to emulate traditional media such as watercolor. You can find my work at janusroseart.com.
