I have been creating art since I was 10, earlier if you count adding shading and texture to my colorbook images. Art is a very important part of who I am, and I am happiest when I am creating something. The imagination and creativity in ourselves lets us see the real beauty in the world around us. In past years I have been a member of the local chapter of the Federation of Canadian Artists, as well as a member of my local Arts Council. Besides the original webimages you see all over my website, I enjoy mixed media and paper arts. I am also an oil painter, and watercolorist and have shown and sold my artwork in California, Washington, and parts of BC, Canada. My smaller pieces like my hand painted watercolor cards have found their way all over the world.

An artist's work has many facets, and the work you see throughout my sites, is but one of mine. I love people, the ocean, reflections, flowers, and trees. My more recent interests include: paper making, collage, stenciling, eraser carving, tag art. ATCs, rubberstamping. and making handmade books.


 
 
Along with my creative side is the side of logic, and everything technical. I became interested in computers in 1984, and have been hooked ever since. I worked as a computer technician for several years and I'm comfortable both working on the inside as well as the outside of computers. As a necessity in the early days, I learned to program in Basic, and part of my job description was to teach people the fundamentals of DOS, Windows, and Windows based applications. I enjoy coding my own HTML, and creating all the images you see through out all the sites I now maintain.. The net has allowed me to combine all my interests as well given me the opportunity to find out more about my family history. I believe that the past has a great deal to do with who we are today, and I'm working on my today for those that follow tomorrow. I hope to leave a legacy that my descendants will be proud of.
