In the late ’60s during a USAF tour of duty in the Far East I learned the essentials of still photography as well as the fundamentals of sumi-e (Japanese ink painting) and the tenets of Zen. Following military service and subsequent studies for a degree in communications, I pursued a career in broadcast video production where composing and editing the moving image not only demanded extensive photographic expertise but practical knowledge of all aspects of media production from audio to special effects. It was during this long, multi-faceted period of technical and artistic growth that I transitioned from film to digital image capture and processing. Although much creative energy is tapped for producing, directing, scripting and editing, my true artistic calling was not fully realized in the commercial video arena. I attained complete artistic freedom through independent video art projects and digital print making. Since retirement from TV broadcasting I now focus on these endeavors daily — with major emphasis on the latter. Since
the early 1980s my artworks have been featured at: The Whitney Museum
of American Art, SFMOMA, The Corcoran Gallery of Art, Triton Museum
of Art, Washington Project for the Arts, DC Art Center, Arlington
Arts Center, Faber Birren National Color Award Show, AFI and numerous
other film festivals, and art spaces in New York, Washington DC, Virginia
and California. |
