Tablelands Mantle of the Earth
In my early years, I focused on music and the performing arts. As a
teenager, a family interest in all things Japanese led to an appreciation
for clean, spare lines, and fine details. As an adult, I spent 16 years
studying flying trapeze with a circus school in Toronto (my home and
native land), which had a profound influence on the person I am now,
and how I have come to view the world. It also created an inadvertent
ability to photograph things in motion, which comes in handy when I
photograph wildlife.
I retired my fly wings in 2013, but continue to be involved in Toronto’s
circus community with my camera. And the wildlife thing has expanded
into a landscape thing. Melding this all with a life-long love of travel,
I have created art in some inspiring locations in North America, Latin
America, Europe, Asia and Africa.
In 2016, I decided it was time to concentrate solely on my art. Moving on
from a 30-year business career in PR and communications, my camera
has become both my pen and my brush, allowing me to share the stories

I’m delighted that my work has found permanent homes in both private Facebook: www.facebook.com/focalocity
and corporate art collections in both Canada and the United States.
