Artist bio
I've lived in the Hamilton area most of my life and despite the connection with industry in the core and a dwindling farm community in the hinterland, neither have had much influence on what I do other than both ends involve people who, in the traditional sense, work for a living. My post-secondary wanderings garnered a degree and diploma from 416-based giants but never quite fed my fascination for making "things". I was more affected by the personal experiences of two instructors... Jerry Englar at the University of Toronto and Sam Carter at Ontario College of Art, both working outside the traditions of their respective schools.
