He started college at Bristol Polytech in Fine Arts but after 2 year he took a break.\u00a0In this time away from school he worked a number of different jobs, until one day he decided that his passion was art and went back to finish his degree. After getting the degree he moved to Australia where he again worked a number of odd jobs until getting a job as an illustrator. Which allowed him to pursue art again while making decent pay. Later in his life he began to work with illuminated signs, which later on turned into his passion of light art sculptures and setups. This passion took him throughout the world allowing him to set up breathtaking exhibits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Light of Fields<br><\/strong>A Lighting exhibit that has been set up in numerous places across the globe for varying amounts of time. It is a field of stemmed spheres lit by fiber optics with slowly changing colors to simulate a field in the breeze.
