An educator at heart, I love layering and mixing various media photographic, graphic images, sound and video, discussing varied philosophies, exploring user interface and software issues. I am curious about people’s different reactions, particularly when it comes to design issues whether it is in a room or on a computer screen. I wonder how ergonomics, colour, light, word choice, placement affect people’s reactions; interested in helping to create an environment where people feel included and assisted rather than excluded and frightened. I am a multimedia artist for peace.
I believe healthy relationships are likely the most important variable in one’s life. I look forward to a time everyone truly is welcomed. Passionate to a point that I can be annoying, I simply try not to care, yet it is a strong likelihood that I withdraw until I alone build my courage back up.
I believe an open mind is a healthy one; we should be able to talk about anything, learn as much as we can and die trying, love doing what we feel soul-bound to do before we expire. I am arrogant enough to believe I can help anyone … I stupidly don’t stop trying. I believe kind words, the right music, poetics are best solutions in our fast-paced days. We too often forget to take our next biggest breath to keep on keeping on, to focus on the positive and when anger and pain get us down, that we realize the real work of living is learning to dissolve the negative thought. I repeat myself, rewrite old stories. When the day comes that I may ask what matters most to you, there is a strong likelihood that underneath it all, your response is also what matters the most to me. You can never be too young, too old, too immature, too inexperienced, or even too tired for me to find something that I can relate to you about. I will take the time to try to find something beautiful in or about you.
All that being said, what really grabs my attention is finding tools that allow my creative juices to flow and create things that allow me to inspire, motivate, and hopefully endure long past my lifetime. I want to be an occasional seed of thought in your mind that allows you to be happy and help you believe that no matter whom you are that the world is a better place because you are in it.
Modeling the behaviour for others to follow is one of my steps to success. I am my own best teacher, revisiting my lessons, rereading my own words. My nothing is everything. I’m at a stage in my life when I like myself and I am confused when others don’t. Shyly, I hide behind graphics and other icons; it is a rare photograph that you will see of me.
