Without these 'expressive links' , the fight to live creatively is lost to mediocrity.Explore your links to creativity and so to the life source. Statement The following institutes and schools:Brooks Institute of PhotographyAcademy of Art, San FranciscoNew York Film AcademyAmerican Academy of Art - ChicagoThe New England Institute of Art - BostonInternational Academy of Design & Technology - SeattleThe Art Institute of Vancouver Vancouver have nothing to do with me.Yes, Ive had some schooling -some college and a smattering ofart and life drawing workshops but I am, by and large, self-taught.Through reading, research and observation I haveand will continue to learn the lawsof form, function, color and proportion.All of my technical understanding of cameras, computers and software has beenlearned through documentation and by persistent trial and error.The evolution of my creative self has been anendeavor of self discovery. Denial and the taking for granted of my given gifts were part of that process.I am now, however, on a continuing journeyfilling my life with the passion of the visual.Without the ongoing search of my artistic naturethe voice is vanquished and the life ends.
