In high school, I began collecting magazine clippings of colorful umbrellas and people at the beach. These clippings became source material for watercolors and collages over the years. I then began taking my own photographs, creating a project I called "Anonymous@theBeach". In this artwork, I have 16 iterations of a young man wearing red hibiscus board shorts, rendered using a digital synthesizer program. The piece shows examples of different kinds of paint brushes I create to generate diverse effects. I lined the figures up and superimposed them on a background of a beach in Spain.
