”An artist's early work is inevitably made up of a mixture of tendencies and interests, some of which are compatible and some of which are in conflict. As the artist picks his way along, rejecting and accepting as he goes, certain patterns of enquiry emerge. His failures are as valuable as his successes: by misjudging one thing he conforms something else, even if at the time he does not know what that something else is.” -- Bridget Riley

Why did a videographer make this web site?
I have worked side by side with some of the best artists in Edmonton, as well as with some of the worst. I wanted to make it easier for the public to separate the two and make informed decisions when choosing a digital artist.
