Bio - Home Page This website contains many hundreds of detailed images of my projects. Most pages and links are full, but because of the scale of this website, you might still encounter a few unfilled links. Some pages only include a few images while others include many. This summary, large as it is, this is just about half of a general overview of the many many projects I have completed in the past 36 or so years. Most poignantly missing is my opera/theater portfolio, which was stolen from me in Amsterdam in 1980. Another area which is not yet included on this site is my music. I have written nearly 200 songs contained in three notebooks. At present, I am compiling an illustrated book of songs for children, my words & music. You can hear some of my compositions at MySpace on the web. Please excuse my voice and try to hear the true music behind my poor musicianship. A project for a future day perhaps, is to compile my box-loads of prose and poetry written over the years from age 14 to the present. | ||||||||
b. 1954, Aspen, Colorado Languages spoken: English, French, German, limited Italian Cities lived in: New York, Montreal, Winnipeg, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Düsseldorf, Paris, Munich, Los Angeles Professional Career Span: 35 years "How can you do so many things and still do them all well?" I do one thing at a time. Thirty-six years is a long time. |
In 1973, at the age of 18, I arrived in New York with $6.00.
I went to Juilliard looking for a friend of mine. That morning I was hired to work in props. Three weeks later I was the head of the scenic department of the Juilliard Theater. I began moonlighting as assistant to the designers. In 1974 I was awarded a scholarship to study dance with Les Grands Ballets Canadiens in Montreal. As a diversion, I visited a cartoon animation studio. I was asked to stay and was trained while I worked. In 1978 while working for the San Francisco Opera I was invited to Europe to assist in a production of Wagner's Ring. I developed a system for translating a 2-dimensional drawing into 3-dimensional space (accurately) using a programmable handheld calculator (before I had ever heard of computers doing 3-D rendering). Many other career variations and enhancements came to me in the same serendipitous way. Often, when someone had a problem and there was no job description to solve it, I was called in informally to solve a problem and then asked to stay. I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the people and mentors who were, and continue to be, so generous with their enthusiasm and friendship along the way.
