I am an artist with a studio in Dallas, Texas. I work in digital imaging, collage and mixed media. My influence is geometric abstraction and industrial art between the wars. I'm interested in design, color and texture. My work often contains a combination of technical, scientific and natural images. Whimsey is an important element of my work. My photographic digital images is of urban landscape from large and small cities. I have been photographing more people lately, especially at art openings and in a self-portrait loo series. Much of my digital images end up as collage elements in my mixed media paintings. Art Exhibits and NewsDouble Take, a two person show with Maureen, opens July 11 from 7 to 10 pm. The venue is the Garret Art Gallery, 111. E. Virginia in McKinney, Texas. It's on the north side of the square. It's also the McKinney 2nd Saturday Artwalk so there is lots going on. The area was recently updated and is very nice. The exhibit is up until August 6th. I returned from a June trip to Illinois. While I went to a funeral, I managed to see my cousins, an uncle in Galesburg and shot over 600 images. Some are very nice and I'll be working with them the next few months. I also got a great loo shot at Springfield High School, where I graduated. I stopped in Hanibal, MO - I had not been there for many years. I visted SLAM (St. Louis Art Museum) and the Philbrook in Tulsa along the way. I've been playing quite a bit of music in my project music studio. I find a relationship between my visual art and music.
I was in the 2009 Assistance League of Houston exhibit again this year. This is Shelley Langdale, Associate Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. I exhibited EJ's, a bar in beautiful downtown Port Arthur, Texas.
