Photography was my earliest entry into the creative arts and that was soon followed by music. My piano studies took over and, after earning a performance degree, I worked as a professional musician for several years in Toronto. Over the years, my career has taken several paths, from an agent for musicians to a manager of performing arts centres and a programmer of multi-disciplinary performances. In the midst of this was a foray into floor loom and tapestry weaving, during which time I developed a method of incorporating both styles of weaving. Several shops across Canada carried my weaving, which I called in situ.

A rekindled passion for photography has recently re-entered my life. After years of observations, I am exploring the intersections of photography and contemporary art, in particular the unseen elements of light and the layering of colour and shape. 

I explore techniques of capturing abstract effects in the camera, finding ways to extract ethereal qualities that are not visible at casual observation. In ‘developing’ the image, I tease out elements of light, colour and form to further explore the abstractions.
