Life

Life is what happens in between making plans and work. Every year we grab a few weeks for an adventure. Either a flight to somewhere or camping, trekking or exploring new cities. In 2010 Zac was born and changed our priorities. Life now moves to a fresh and exciting new beat. I will continue to add more LIFE moments from the past and present. 

Art

Art is everything and all is art. Its just about perspective and understanding. There is art to the morning run and the clarity of thought, on the blurred journey to work, to the creation of new ideas and the execution of them. The small selection of ART case studies here are only a few of the many pieces I have produced over the years. Some have been shown and others never seen. The blurring of these ideas is what motivates and excites me as I continue to learn and develop new ideas and skills.
