The DiBartolomeis Legacy Art Museum Website features original art, photographs, and stories that I have created over my lifetime; including my new work until I am forced to stop. All of my existing work is catalogued. I am also exhibiting selections of my work in electronic books or videos.
The purpose of the Legacy Art Museum is to provide a free, publicly accessible, and visually interesting digital archive of my artwork throughout my lifetime. This virtual museum serves as a memoir, in largely a visual format. My idea for this website stems from a universal human impulse: the desire to leave a lasting footprint. Having no biological heirs, this archive serves as my legacy -- a way to ensure that a lifetime of observation is not lost to time or neglect.
Although I have archived digital images of my artwork and photographs on my computer’s hard drive, the public cannot access it. Furthermore, a large number of my actual physical artwork is scattered around the country in private collections or lost and/or destroyed. Almost all my pre-1987 artwork is gone; I didn't want to lose any more of it so I am exhibiting it in this virtual museum.
