Artist's Statement
I have been involved with photography and visual arts since 1968. I studied photography at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology and have a BA in Fine Arts from the University of Alberta. I have exhibited in group and one person shows since 1969. In 1999 I began showing in galleries in the United States. I have work in government, corporate and private collections.
Over the last few years I have received the following awards; 2000, Best Print in Show, Art Center of Estates Park, Colorado; 1999; Award of Excellence in Photography, Chicago Windy City Artists Exhibition; Juror’s Award of Recognition, Period Gallery, Omaha, Nebraska; Juror’s Award, Community Arts Council, Sidney, BC; Two Honorable Mentions, 23rd Annual Photography Exhibition, Fort Smith, Arkansas; 1995, The Graphic Designers of Canada, Vancouver Island Chapter, "Computer Image Manipulation in a Series".
My
first means of artistic expression was photography and photography continues
to be the basis for all my work. I have used photographic images to produce
paintings, drawings and prints. The basis of my current imagery can be described
as photographing a found object, situation or incident. (As opposed to an
assembled situation.)
The Currently, I use photographs as a source for computer manipulated/altered images. One of the methods I use to change images may be thought of as recursive or self-referential. The image is altered by using information from the image, not only as the source for the image, but also as the modifying parameter. Other modifications include; altered color and tone values, and the enhancement or suppression of detail.
I have been interested in the use of computers to assist in the making of art since I was a student at the University of Alberta in 1974-75. There, I had the opportunity to do some work with the Amdahl mainframe. I used some computer 'drawings' as the starting point for a series of paintings. While interesting, the reality was, it was terribly expensive and very cumbersome. e.g. no monitors and delays of several days to receive hard copy output.
In 1992, I attended a workshop at the Center for Creative Imaging in Camden, Maine. I arrived still harboring doubts on the ability of a personal computer to really do everything that was then claimed. I left convinced that they could actually do more.
With that experience as an incentive I began building a system and the expertise to create computer manipulated/altered art. One method of creating prints was to use a service bureau to produce Iris Giclee Prints. In 1998, Lyson released an archival ink set for the Epson 3000 wide format printer. This proved to be the final piece of the puzzle for me. Having my own printer allows me complete control of the final images. I have exhibited Original Digital prints produced with the Epson/Lysonic combination in several venues.
It is my perception that the release of an archival ink and paper combination for an affordable printer will be seen as an historical landmark in the development of visual, print and photographic arts.

The proper artistic response
to digital technology is to embrace it as a new window on everything that's
eternally human, and to use it with passion, wisdom, fearlessness and joy"
