I came to New York as an artist and had a modicum of success, mostly in Europe. My work slowly shifted from painting large abstract paintings and moved into video, performance and photography. I found that I love to work with and on moving images, creating meaningful narratives. Film and the video arts reach a broader audience and for me as an artist that has always been a priority.

Recently I completed a six week class at The Edit Center to hone my editing skills. At the Edit Center I had the opportunity to work on "The Missing Person" a traditional narrative and on "The Reporter" a documentary.

I grew up in the design and advertising world and have an extensive background in the trade and a passion for typography and good design. One of the reasons I started making video art was often times a good commercial has more content to deliver in 30 seconds than an artist's video in 10 minutes or 2 hours.

The bottom three videos are a mere entrance into my personal work as an artist. "The Event in Ghent" is what I call a mockumentary based on my own most "famous" battle with Jan Hoet, or more my 15 minutes of fame in Belgium. "A Little Less" was an attempt to rescue what seemed like unusable footage from a weekend in NJ. And finally "Joseph Beuys Is Underrated" was my initial claim to fame. The Beuys video has been shown in nearly every country in Western Europe and even broadcast.

All videos were compressed for web using Compressor, which I am adept at and "The Missing Person" was color corrected using Apple's Color App. Another utility I am quite comfortable with.
