about me

Living in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, one of my passions is capturing still images of the things around us.  The things that most people take for granted or ignore.  I can see art in nature, architecture, people, and throughout our daily lives.

Many of us pass these images by in our busy lifestyles, unable to recognize the artistic value in our world.  Perhaps only a few of us are able to see these things in passing with the naked eye.  But given the opportunity to stop and look at these images, everyone can appreciate them.

about übergraph

Übergraph is the name I created to represent my artwork. It is derived from the German word “über” and the English word “photograph”. Translated from German to English, über loosely means super, over and above. Obviously all artists of any medium strive to create excellent work. So in my mind, an übergraph is an excellent photograph or image, something I simply strive for.

My prints are typically based on my own photography, though in some cases they may be images I’ve created solely on the computer in digital format.

My prints may be photographs, photographs rendered to appear as paintings, photographs digitally converted to simulate the original image, abstracts created from a photograph, or completely digitally created images.

I currently prefer to print on canvas, but there are exceptions. All of my canvas artwork is printed by me, sealed, and hand stretched on home made fir wood frames. They are gallery wrapped, and can be displayed as is, or framed. Framing is a personal preference and not a requirement. From photograph to completed print, they were created by my hands and equipment alone.

Thank you for viewing my images!
