Philosophy:

In my professional life as a Construction Design Professional and a Construction Administrator, I strive for the proper integration of Function, Beauty, Constructability, Cost-Effectiveness and Environment Compatibility;

to create a finished product that is both pleasing and sustainable.

I look upon each project as an extension of the client, and thus consider it to be imperative that the finished product reflect the client's personality, as well as their needs, in a way that enhances their lives and their surroundings.

As a photographer I look to capture the essence of the human spirit, either through personal emotions, or through the legacies we leave behind.

~ We must be in harmony with the world around us. ~

Listed to the right are link pages to various projects I have most recently been involved with. Please feel free to browse at your leisure.

Welcome!

Klipspringer Studios is the outlet for my personal artistic expression, through my professional career as well as through my daily adventures - along with where I can share information on the activities I am involved in. While my activities may center around photography or design services, furniture building, art, writing, or taking people on tours around the world, all of my endeavors are done so in keeping with my personal faith.

* As an avid photographer, I have included examples of the way I view this world - from architectural celebration to the human form. 

* As an internationalist, and one concerned with the needs of the less-fortunate, I have been on, and have taken other volunteers on, several hands-on mission to a foreign or domestic location in need.  

* As an artist, you may find my artistic expression through conceptual cartography, free-form painting, and texture and graphic relief work to be unique and unusual.

* As a collector of the unique, from furniture to pottery, to textiles, to art work, you may be interested in going on a "Shopping Safari" with me - where you will meet the crafts-persons making the objects you fall in love with, from around the world.

* As a published, architectural designer, I am able to help you design the home of your dreams, or to decorate the space in which you live, to reflect the personality within you.
