Statement

The world presents itself and occasionally, I take the time to observe. There are times when the observation takes on the form of obsession, at other times it is the casual encounter. These moments become photographs. Believing that the normal needs to be elevated by exaggeration or simplification, I apply my skills to interpret these instances.

I've exhibited in group and one person shows since 1969; exhibiting photographs, painting and prints. I have had 16 Solo exhibitions; 10 featuring Digital Prints, 3 featuring Large Format Paintings, 3 featuring Traditional Photography and 172 Group Shows. My work, since 1998, has focused on computer manipulated photographs.

Also, an exhibitor in 12 virtual web galleries, associated with academic conferences focused on digital imaging in Australia, China, Thailand, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.

The prints have been exhibited extensively, primarily in US University, College, and Community galleries. The exhibitions have been in; British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and in 32 American States.

In 2006, I began publishing my projects as books, and have completed sixteen books to date, available on Amazon.

Born and educated in Alberta, I have been living in Victoria, on Canada's West Coast, since 1984.
