It seems as though I've always been doing art-work of one kind or another. Paper was an early favorite as a medium for sculpture, and I've done several installations in which I created the sculptural objects on site as part of the show. 
 
Drawing has been a constant for me, as a discipline, an aid to seeing, but until the personal computer came on the scene, collage has been my medium of choice; I feel that a lot of what I do on the computer has roots in my love of collage. All the ways of playing with an image in collage - color, texture, pieces of images, and the relationships that arise between those elements - all the ways of working with those elements are greatly expanded in the computer.
 
Having said that, the images that make up this collection were created entirely in the computer, though many of the techniques I used were learned in earlier digital collage work with scanned images.
 
The principal way that I've shown my work has been as a member of two cooperative galleries in my home town of Belfast, Maine. I've also had several exhibits of my work in local businesses.
