"This series is about documenting Los Angeles. I go out and photograph a place, district or event, taking up to 300 photographs. Working on the computer I create my sketch. From there I output film and create screens. This original painting you see is not a digital print. My "sketch" on the computer is used simply as a visual guide. All of my paintings are a combination of hand painting and silkscreen using as many as 20 or more silkscreen prints. The screens are reclaimed after I have created one painting. " - Gail Rodgers
