I have wanted to be an artist since my early childhood and I have been a student of light, and its many manifestations for the greater part of my adult life. I became enamored by the paintings Mark Rothko, Modrian and Joseph Albers. It was in Albers that light became a science and the pursuit was optics.

All during this time I was a poet and the idea that I could be both visual and verbal was a constant challenge. I was encouraged by a friend to try digital imaging and what followed was an immensely experience. It was like learning to walk all over again and I was overwhelmed. As I progressed I realized that I was being afforded opportunities no master in prior times could have even conceived of. 

In the same way the ‘montage’ is used to describe film editing that is done poetically, I sense that my images blend motion and color. Many of them await a musical score and stand ready to blend with a new harmonic. They are expressions of joy and are ready to reveal themselves to people of any age or persuasion.
