I
am a self-taught artist who
works primarily with colour photography. I was born in Stratford, Ontario and
have lived in a number of towns and cities in Ontario, Manitoba and New Brunswick,
as well as a two-month working visit to Shannon, Ireland. I currently live in
Ottawa.
Most of my images are taken in
urban areas and capture the small visual delights that go unnoticed by the
majority of people. I rarely manipulate an image outside of the camera.
Since 1971 I have been selling
my work privately as well as in galleries in the Ottawa area, Toronto and
Barcelona, Spain. My works hang in public, private and corporate collections
in Canada, the United States, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
