Digital Artist Bruce Bayard

Bruce Bayard is an accomplished painter who made a living with his paintings beginning at the age of 30. He has no regrets about moving from a brush and palette to Photoshop. Achieving a fair level of competence with software tools allows him to use a “complex layering of visual information,” that he attempted to use in his painting, but never with the success that he envisioned and can now realize. Bruce posts new digital art to his website and descriptions of the processes used to create each piece are available in the artist's electronic newsletter. An archive of previous prints also is accessible through his online gallery. Bayard's prints are open editions. They are printed on 100 percent rag paper, signed and dated on the back.
