About the artist

I’ve always been drawn to the quiet presence of personal objects—the worn edge of a hand tool, the patina on a vintage camera body, or the stitched leather of an old pair of speed skates. To me, nostalgia isn't just about looking backward; it's an active appreciation for the things we choose to keep and the stories they hold. Elevating these items into large-scale fine art comes from a desire to pause, interact with their detail, and preserve that feeling on a monumental scale.

My studio practice combines a love for vintage optical glass with modern high-resolution sensor technology. Character-rich vintage lenses paired with precise digital captures give the final prints a tactile, timeless quality that standard modern optics simply can't replicate. It bridges classic film-era warmth with crisp, contemporary detail.

Before focusing on archival studio portraiture, I spent 25 years as a designer and art director—including over a decade directing visuals and campaigns in the cycling industry. That background taught me how to look at form, material, and story with an obsessive eye. A graduate of the Alberta College of Art & Design (B.Des) and a former competitive speed skater (training at the US Olympic Training Center and Canada’s Olympic Oval), I bring that same discipline, focus, and appreciation for fine craft into every commission.

When I’m not in the studio, I’m usually on a bike or searching out old mechanical items. The places those rides take me, and the textures I encounter along the way, continually shape how I see light and form in the studio.
