I’ve been drawing and painting in various media for most of my adult life. I owe a creative and pedagogical debt to the drawing teachers whose classes I attended in Switzerland. They encouraged me to draw as often as possible so that I would train my eye to observe and my hand to extend that observation.
Drawing has been a wonderfully enjoyable pursuit of mine. Over the years, my drawings and paintings have greatly influenced the work I do as a professional graphic designer, and vice versa. I especially enjoy drawing the human figure, feeling a strong creative connection—always attempting to find the dignity, drama, and strength in every subject, no matter the accidental superficialities or infirmities of the subject.
I have enjoyed teaching graphic design and drawing at colleges and universities in Canada and the U.S.
