Biography

 Originally from Mississauga Ontario Canada, I have been creating art since I was a teenager. My skills have been self taught through tens of thousands of exposures and countless hours both in a chemical darkroom and now in the digital darkroom. I believe the sense of balance I achieve in my art stems from my formal training in architecture. However, I found creating photographic art more fulfilling than architecture and have pursued this artistic outlet with an intense desire to create images which will move people. I have discovered that the quality of light is of the utmost importance to me. As an artist, I am always working to capture the best quality of light. In fact, I am always seeking Extraordinary Light where ever I happen to be.

I relocated to White City, Saskatchewan in 1998 where I began the most intensive photographic work of my career. Although I have works from many areas of North America, currently I create art of three primary areas.

My first body of work is of the vanishing prairie structures built in the early 1900’s. Homesteads, barns, grain elevators and grand scenic works of Canada’s agricultural engine dominate my time. I am in continuous search of these wonderful places where I can capture a moment in time in the best possible light revealing the overlooked beauty of the prairies.

My second body of work has been revealing the beauty of the American Southwest. I have made many photographic expeditions into this area now and the wonders revealed are obvious in my work. Amazing colours, textures and Extraordinary Light have allowed me to create a portfolio of images that leave collectors in awe of the raw beauty of one of North America’s few “wild places”.

The third body of work has been an exploration and interpretation of Alberta’s Rocky Mountains. These images seek to explore the places seen by many, yet never truly seen. Those that live near the mountains often forget to look at the wonders around them, The raw beauty of the mountains can move one in so many ways if you open your eyes. I believe I have captured this in my art and will continue growing this work with more expeditions into this Canadian frontier.
