Dennis Orlando is an award winning artist with over twenty years of professional experience. Dennis considers himself a "Tradigital" artist, creating traditional painterly images through the use of digital tools. His work is said to achieve a delicacy of expression unusual in digital art. Landscapes and still life's that capture the mysterious, evanescent quality of light in a way that clearly owes more to the impressionists than to computer science.
