Statement

I enjoy visual creative endeavors. From my early years to present day, I have always maintained a hands-on approach in all of my related fields of employment. The last 20 years of employment took me into the realms of newspaper publishing, graphic design, advertising design, and artistic renderings of the world around me. Capturing photographs all around me in the many areas of the country I have lived, as well as in Canada's Quebec and Ontario regions. Art, in one form or another, has always been a part of me. It is who I am as a person.
