Since I can remember I have been fascinated with architecture, structure and design. So it followed that I studied architecture along with art history and design at university and have used this as my main inspiration for creative exploration and expression throughout my artistic journeys.
The first art medium I adopted was pen and ink drawing and then quickly moved on to photography with its instant results and outdoor possibilities. I applied this specialty to books as an author and to heritage conservation as a professional planner and designer.
When the digital medium appeared I was able to utilize my photographic images past and present for all kinds of art possibilities such as collage, altered photographs and alternate printmaking. I combine my photographic skills with printmaking methods to produce surprising and aesthetically effective results.
I also conduct workshops and teach courses in digital photography, photographic composition, digital collage and design theory and application as well as gaphic design, web sites and art photography for a number of artists and art organizations. (Cf Ground Zero art promotion)
Design, colour and pattern are the focus of my pieces. These elements are combined to create both multi-layered and abstract images expressing an appreciation of the subject as well as the inherent beauty, endless variety and underlying order of structures in our environment.
