Born and raised in Hamilton Ontario, I have been drawing as long as I could hold a pencil. I come from a family of very creative people with my sister and artist, Joyce Betts being my life-long inspiration. I started my graphic design career in 1973 and later went on to explore fine arts, photography and videography.

With the advent of the internet, I began designing web sites in 1998, seeing it as an opportunity to apply many other disciplines and offer them in a fully integrated and consistent package.
