SUSTAINABILITY
As an artist, I believe sustainability is about meeting present needs without compromising the well-being of future generations or the planet.
Climate change, driven by greenhouse gas emissions like CO2, poses significant risks, especially in product lifecycles such as art creation. Embracing sustainable practices, like using Forest Stewardship Council-certified wood and Inkjet printing with water-based pigment inks, reduces environmental impact.
By choosing eco-friendly materials and advocating for a smaller ecological footprint, I aim to inspire positive change through my art and lifestyle choices. Practicing sustainability involves making daily choices that promote the well-being of all beings and ecosystems on Earth.
It's essential for each of us to be mindful of our decisions, striving to harmonize economic, social, and environmental priorities to secure a brighter tomorrow for present and future generations.

The Origin Story
His creativity was inspired by his upbringing on farms in rural New Zealand, where he was transfixed with creative thinking, adventure, and the juxtaposition of colors, composition, and design. Throughout his life, he has traveled and lived in multiple countries of the world, living in the USA for the past 35 years. He is an avid sailing Captain who enjoys ocean sailing in the most interesting places around the world. For many years he has studied human thinking - how the brain perceives and assimilates information and experiences (neuroplasticity), and how humans experience emotional impact and create understandings and worldviews. He now lives in Southern California, one of the foremost creative epicenters of the world. He lives in a world-famous small artist town, Laguna Beach, living close to the Pacific Ocean, where he gets much of his daily creative ideas and inspiration. In his past careers, he spent many years managing super-luxury hotels around the world, then created six Marketing and Branding agencies, where he honed his CEO, Consulting, and Creative Design skills in business strategy, imaginative design, and human interaction – overseeing advertising and storytelling for many well-known global brands and hundreds of small & medium-sized businesses.
Live a smaller footprint.
My journey into sustainable artistry began with two simple yet profound questions to myself: (1) How can art be created without leaving a heavy footprint on the environment? ….and (2) How can art and creativity create more fulfilling lives for people, and influence them to live better with less? These questions ignited my quest for innovation and a deep dive into sustainable art practices that have come to define my artistic process and methodologies…. and my core worldview. I advocate for embracing a lifestyle that minimizes our environmental footprint, encouraging moderation in consumerism, resisting the urge for excessive consumption, and prioritizing low carbon-high sustainability lifestyles and values whenever possible.
