Selected Exhibitions and Awards
My career as artist and photographer is woven of a number of strands of experience over the past four decades, each having their own influence upon the artist I am today. These include graphic designer, illustrator, teacher, counselor, painter, and photographer, not to mention perhaps my most important roles as husband and father. While I have worked for a variety of high profile and prestigious clients, exhibited award-winning original work both locally and nationally, and served as juror for art shows, I've progressed largely outside of the mainstream of the world of contemporary art and photography. I value the independence this has provided.
