I have spent my entire career working and playing with light and color.
At the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, I learned the Zone System of photographic exposure, which taught me to pre-visualize.
While studying Graphic-Arts at College of DuPage, I also took up Pottery classes, becoming the Laboratory Assistant. In this capacity I learned glaze formulation and how to fire kilns.
After a career in Graphic Arts, I met my wife, Beth Rosemarie, in 1993 which was the beginning of a unique collaboration that still persists.
In the last decade I have developed a love for woodwork and furniture building in a semi-rustic naturalistic style.
