Light-Line-Form is a metaphor for the three areas that have been my intellectual and creative focus for the last forty years. ‘Light’ references my teaching and writing on colour, ‘Line’ refers to my latest textbook and ‘Form’ represents my lifetime interest in the discipline of architecture, which has resulted in a couple of award-winning publications.

To keep a roof over my head, clothes on my back, and a pair of loose shoes on my feet I’ve worked as a designer for advertising agencies and design studios in both New York and Toronto.
