I am a visual artist. I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I have been doing art for 39 years. Visual art for me in essence is "capturing the heart of a visual experience either realistic or abstract in whatever medium that conveys the message of my time. I have travelled extensively throughout Canada, the U.S.A., the Carribean, Europe and Africa.

I have been working with Photography for 37 years and digital photography for 5 years. My goal in photography is to try to create an image of a pre-machine time in the history of the world. A time devoid of machines and wires that is quickly disappearing.

The abstract image has been an obsession for me for 33 years. I have been creating abstract digital images for the past 12 years. As someone might concentrate on a "Sudoku puzzle", I approach a blank computer screen as a puzzle to be solved and try to make a visual image that is thought provoking and mentally digestible like "eye candy" for the viewer. Simply it must be similar to an optical illusion; except the image must last.

I am currently on Sabbatical working full time on visual art.
