**I build worlds, then photograph the dream.**

I create immersive environments in Second Life, then explore them through virtual photography. Building is cathartic for me, translating imagined places into spaces that can be walked through, inhabited, photographed, and felt.

My creative path began in traditional fine art through oil painting and stained glass, followed by studies in fine art, design, and business. I was accepted to the Ontario College of Art (now OCAD) with a focus on illustration, before the digital era began reshaping the artistic landscape. Creativity eventually carried me through many forms, including entrepreneurship, photography, and opening a gallery in Toronto.

Today, I simply create: worlds, atmosphere, avatars, mood, and story. I build from the ground up, then capture what those worlds become.

That creative curiosity also led to the **Viper Photo Club**, an inclusive community for photographers to share work, exchange ideas, experiment, learn from one another, and explore photography without competition. Through projects such as **The Viper Lens**, I hope to encourage people to try something unfamiliar and discover their own ways of seeing.

I believe art should invite curiosity, emotion, exploration, and connection. Whether through landscapes, intimacy, fantasy, or quiet moments of humanity, my work is ultimately about presence and feeling.

I’m social, trusting, and generous to a fault. I pour much of my energy into creating things and places for others to experience, because making this little corner of existence more beautiful is still one of my favourite things to do.
