A brief intro…
I was born in 1937 in Toronto and currently live in Niagara Falls, NY.
Over the years, I have accumulated a diverse portfolio of work - drawings, paintings and animated films. This page features some of the many works of art, mostly drawings and paintings titled Visions From Faith that were created between 1992 and the present and original paintings titled Pursuit of Happiness, Group Self Portraits, and Little Dancer ("The Selfies").

SANCTIFIED - one of dozens of images from the Visions from Faith collection
Visions from Faith
The Visions From Faith are about redemption. These pieces symbolize the transforming experience, the surrender of oneself to an intangible power requiring the reduction of the mature ego to powerlessness, surrendering Life to Infinite Being. Life. All, not just personality, indulgences, career and values, it is non-negotiable.
In my opinion it is a fundamental motivation in us all, always and forever, the striving for spiritual fulfillment, consciousness of, and consciousness with, what is globally known by humankind by many names all meaning GOD.
GROUP SELF PORTRAIT #2, (2000) Oil on canvas, 48” x 60”,
Group Self Portraits
Much modern art takes pride in meaninglessness. It‘s about whatever you think it’s about. It is all up to the viewer, aided of course by the intellectual speculations of curators and dealers. But this art is radically meaningful. It is specific and accurate reporting of a reality more common than has been supposed until lately - MPD, or Multiple Personality Disorder. Rogers says it should be Multiple Personality Gift because as a child if he had not been able to psychologically disconnect under sensed threat of death he may not have survived.
