About the artist

Through the various phases of my life I have participated in the creative process.

From elementary school through to high school my notebooks became sketchbooks. I went on to graduate from the Graphic Arts program at the Alberta College of Art in 1972, my sketchbooks then became illustration-board and layout-pads. I spent 25 successful years creating advertising, graphic design and illustration with agencies, and later as an independent consultant.

These experiences helped me see the world of patterns, shapes and colors in everything around me. In the late 1990’s I moved into fine arts and began to explore stained glass and sculpture. Now, through the medium of glass, I am inspired to interpret these elements into a one-dimensional surface that represents the color, shape, texture and perspective of an original object, scene or feeling. With multiple individual pieces of glass a new image is created of these interpretations.

Each piece is an original creation reflecting what I see as my daily world changes around me, ever providing new and exciting challenges and opportunities.
