CREATING PUBLIC ART SINCE 1982
Made Freely Available To All In Perpetuity
Creative Estate: things that have been created and made by an individual, and that have rights associated with them. These could be material, recorded, or intellectual in nature. For example, a painting or poem could fall into all three areas, music would fall into the last two, and an idea that is only passed on aurally would fall exclusively into the last.
My Creative Estate is available online as light, sound, and ideas.
My compositions are most easily categorized as contemporary classical.

My first commissioned public artwork was in 1982. My main emphasis is on the interaction of ideas (the title of a work) with its form, tone, and colour. In recent years the interplay of my love of symmetry and abstract art increasingly interacts with figurative, magical, and representational elements.

Art is an intrinsic part of human experience. Art is not an accessory to our daily existence, it is essential. Through art we meet, we discuss, we debate what it is to be human, what it is that drives us apart, and what it is that brings us together.
Public Art: art produced in any media that is free to access, whether in the real world or online.
I am currently developing ways that aim to ensure my art will continue to be freely available in perpetuity.
"Beautiful and Full of Emotion!"
