Creativity for me is not only finding a unique way of expressing oneself, but also the ability to view things in a different light.

I grew up in Vacaville, California. It's OK if you don't know where that is, most people don't... After living and working in Germany for many years, I now call Halifax in Canada my home.

In California I attended Solano College where I received an Associate Arts Degree in Commercial Art. After working at creating portraits and designing graphics for a computer gaming company in California, I moved to Karlsruhe, Germany.

In Germany I was a partner in an internet service providing (ISP) company. As head of the design department, I created promotional material, web sites and corporate graphics. When I learned HTML (back in my day) Dreamweaver didn't exist, so I became proficient at designing web sites by typing out the HTML code... I created web sites that worked. After eight years of developing web based graphics and countless professional and user friendly web sites, (some of which, many years later, are still online), I moved with my Canadian wife and daughter to Halifax, Nova Scotia.

In Halifax I took up the art of making wine and continued to do portraits and a few web sites. My focus now is to put my creative talents to use full time creating images for my valued clients and friends while exploring the art of wine making only part time... In a sampling at the end of my day.

Throughout all the years, one form of art or the other has been a part of who I am. Allow me to make it part of your life.
