As a multimedia designer
(primarily web design requiring the mastery of computer code), I find the
technology of painting as fascinating and deep as any HTML design code. Painting and drawing informs and
improves my multimedia skills, from web design, to photography to
moviemaking, in every imaginable way.
Painting makes me see better, clearer with more detail; my style is
atmospheric naturalism, the search for light and shadow using techniques
passed down through generations of artists. I have been fortunate to study with many painters from the
Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, all exuding an aura of confidence and
accomplishment, which I am attempting to emulate. Mixing old world style painting with modern technology has
been particularly exciting and gratifying.
When I returned to art
school, my dream was to become a multimedia mogul, leading a team of creative
types, developing identities for a variety of clients across a wide platform
of media outlets. My background
in the “knowledge” business combined with fine arts training in emerging
technologies seemed a sure thing.
Much of this dream has come true, except that I work alone, my
computers and cameras are my team and my studio is in my home. I now consider myself a computer
artist, thrilled when a client's Google ranking surges from my coding work or
a custom Flash page gets kudos; I enjoy helping others visualize their public
image. I minored in drawing in
college and have pursued painting since graduating, winning awards and making
sales. My blog DoNArTNeWs (www.brewermultimedia.com) reviews
the Philadelphia art scene with 40,000 page views per month.
