My formal training is in science, chemical engineering and IT. I spent almost 34 years in the chemical industry before retiring. Although my working life has always been is some type of technical function, I have also always been interested in being creative, in being artistic, in making things. Over the years I have delved deeply into photography (the film and darkroom kind), stained glass crafting with a specialization in Tiffany style lamps, custom knife making, woodturning and wood art, photography (this time the digital kind), and most recently, computer generated imaging. I have a print in the La Florida exhibit, which is currently (2013) on display at the Cummer Museum and Garden in Jacksonville, FL; this is an accomplishment for which I am most proud. My most recent work, all computer-generated images, centers around the idea that a biological survey has been conducted on an alien planet. It is one of the prints from this series that is in the La Florida exhibit.
