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.

In 2008 My "Storm Over West Temple" painting was chosen for publication in a printed celebration of Zion Painters; past and present.

Current Explorations

I've begun to explore metal as a creative medium and have created a number of silver pieces. My jewelry is available here in the Jewelry Gallery, at DeZion Gallery and the Zion National Park Museum, both located in Zion Canyon Utah, USA.

All pieces are custom, hand-made jewelry; commissions are welcome! If you would like a custom design, please call:

Paintings are available at DeZion Gallery in Springdale, Utah and the Zion National Park Museum.

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 had studied Adobe Photoshop in 2000 and began using a digital camera in 2002. I’ve since studied (and continue to learn more) through Macromedia's web development tools.

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

Lastly, the future;

These past few years have introduced me to many new avenues. The artwork continues and the art of living continues to expand.

I would like to share one of these avenues by linking to sites that can change our future, please read on:
