Palmer describes his approach to digital art:

“Digital technology is the new, exploding art medium -- the successor to paint and brushes, chalk and charcoal and all other art media – for creation of cutting edge contemporary art. I begin with digital photographs. Clouds in motion, sunrises and sunsets, plants, designs in fabrics, are my first brush strokes. On occasion, I start with images that capture light in motion through “camera painting” -- moving the camera or zooming the lens, or both, while the shutter is open. Then I use various computer editing programs to deconstruct the elements recorded by the camera. I may take segments from several photos and arrange them in a collage for further processing. I may take color, line, shape and texture from a single, particularly interesting photo.

“The creative joy comes when my imaginative subconscious reconstructs my new raw material into abstract expressions that feature high color value together with lines, shapes and textures that combine to suggest dynamics in space and time.”
