Welcome to the Abstractaphy forums! As founder of The Abstractaphy Initiative, artist, writer, and web developer, I'm very pleased to bring these skills together and provide you with this site. I began this project with the goal of bringing artists together in a way that magnifies their individual voices by focusing our attention on mutual interests which have relevance to the planet and its inhabitants. It's a vast set of issues to consider, but one thing's for certain, they are all inexorably linked to each other when it comes to this tiny speck of stardust floating in space we call home. And that is the real goal; to raise awareness of the fact that we, members of the human race, all have common interests. This project seeks to spread that understanding and foster collaboration and cooperation in positive ways that benefit the common good.

On a personal note: I have been creating art for over 35 years, and have been writing poetry and prose extensively over the last seven years. I love photography and enjoy working with photographs in a digital environment to create abstract works of art. I'm an amateur musician, love animals, nature, and collaboration.
