A Note on AI-Generated Images

​

While I am genuinely fascinated by the visual possibilities that artificial intelligence can produce, I do not consider AI-generated images to be art in the traditional sense that painting, drawing, and hands-on creation are art. For me, true art is rooted in human experience, intention, imperfection, and time—qualities that emerge through the physical act of creating. I share and offer AI-generated images here not as a replacement for that process, nor as a claim to authorship in the same way as my paintings, but simply as a practical means to support my studio practice. Any proceeds from these images help fund the paints, canvases, and materials that allow me to continue doing what I love most: creating original, hand-crafted artwork.
