-----------------------
While Colin’s formal education was in engineering, his creative foundation was laid much earlier with the gift of a Kodak Brownie box camera. By the time he was a teenager, he was already developing his own film—a technical discipline that later complemented his studies at Ohio State University. Even as he pursued a 28-year career in manufacturing management, Colin never put down the lens; his early highlights included capturing the raw energy of the Indianapolis 500 from the paddock.
A decade of sailing the Caribbean and the U.S. East Coast during early retirement provided the ultimate canvas for his evolving vision. During this time, Colin explored various creative outlets, including composing music and performing in a local band. However, he eventually realized that his truest artistic voice wasn't found in sound, but in the silence of a captured moment.
Colin’s photography is a deliberate act of defiance against the "noise" of modern media. Frustrated by the pervasive negativity of the news cycle, he creates magnificent images of the human form in stunning settings as a restorative response. His work is a celebration of beauty, intended to offer the viewer a sense of joy and reprieve.
Selected Exhibitions & Accolades Colin’s work has been showcased internationally, from the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg and Miami Art Week to the Decagon Gallery in Brooklyn and Black Box Gallery in Portland.
