A photographer
I likely focus more on photography than I do any of my other artistic talents. What enthuses me about photography is how it allows me to view objects and scenes in a way different from how I see them with my naked eye.
I’ve had my my photographs featured in two exhibitions, one in 2011 and one in 2023.

A singer
I’m what some call a shower singer. Most of my singing is in the shower or while I am alone in a public shower. I can’t compose music, but one of my favourite pasttimes is singing new arrangements of popular songs. I sing bass.
A sketcher
I like to pick up a pencil or pen and let it draw what my mind sees. Often it sketches out an apple, or an eye, or a rural yard, or a superhero.
A painter
I don’t paint much anymore, but I still love creating something that combines various colours and textures. It’s rehabiliting and calming.
A designer
That’s a pretty vague declaration. I think it’s accurate though. I believe it encapsulates everything listed above, as well as many other areas that define me. “Designer” is one of the terms that most accurately describes me.
