Firstly, my work;

My main creative influences derive from somewhat diverse areas including early photographic themes, modern music and Abstract Expressionism. My singular iconic ideal is Georgia O'Keeffe - strong, clear and female, from New York to Texas to Taos with many adventures in between.

Of great influence on my perceptions of the world are paintings by Helen Frankenthaler Paul Klee and Mark Rothko.

Current Explorations

I've begun to explore metal as a creative medium and have created a number of silver pieces. My jewelry is available at Manzanita Gallery and Natures Gallery of Zion located in Springdale Utah, USA.

Paintings are available at DeZion Gallery in Springdale, Utah.

Secondly, my history;

I grew up in Stratford, Ontario, Canada, a small yet well-reputed town, home of The Stratford Shakespearean Festival Theater about 1.5 hours south-west of Toronto.

The best part of being surrounded by the Great Lakes, was lots of precipitation which led to spectacular cloud formations and amazing sunsets.

Having spent close to a decade in the darkroom, I began to feel the winds of change bringing me into our digital age.

I studied Adobe Photoshop and began using a digital camera. I’ve since studied (and continue to learn more) through Macromedia's web development tools.

I'm currently studying traditional painting techniques and diverging from those techniques regularly.

Lastly, my future;

The Southwest is the environment I now associate with home as I uncover and discover more of its natural splendor. I currently create and maintain websites, hike and climb as well as paint as much as possible.

Computer technology and imaging are constantly expanding my abilities to share, expanding beyond any of my preconceived notions.

One never knows where the future leads but I aim to continue my artwork and seek an existence with purpose and meaning, sharing beautiful images and artwork throughout my time.

The bridge between my digital and analog artwork has begun with web publishing and the future holds an infinite number of exciting possibilities.

Thanks for visiting - may beauty and inspiration be yours.
