BIOGRAPHICAL STATEMENT
I was trained in traditional photographic and darkroom techniques and methods while attending the University of Toronto, School of Architecture in the early 1980s. Since then I have taken various courses and seminars in photography that contributed to my development as a photographer over this past twenty-five years. As a Visual Sociologist I am called upon to exercise my skills as a photographer. I have built up a considerable body of work that I am working toward organising for exhibition. However, I do consider myself to be self taught in both photography and painting in terms of composition and the development of my esthetic.
Though I have not formally studied art history, through my academic studies as a Visual Sociologist and in Cultural Studies, as well as through my natural interest in art, I have read extensively on the area. As a Docent at the Art Gallery of Ontario, I am continually challenged to expand my knowledge base, as well as surprised as to what I have already accumulated.
