I am a full-time artist with a studio in Dallas, Texas. I work in acrylic paint, mixed media and color photography. 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 photography 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 photography ends up as collage elements in my mixed media paintings.

Art Exhibits and News

My summer news is July 3rd I had open heart surgery - a quadruple bypass. I'm recovering nicely and walking some 5k races. I was even featured in the running column of the Dallas Morning News.

I've been working mostly on the new large scale Words Mean Things photo series with words and the ongoing loo photography series. I'm starting a new series of small mixed media paintings.

I was in the ISEA (International Society of Experimental Artists) exhibit in Santa Cruz, CA. I also received my signature membership in the group.

Fort Worth Spring Gallery Night - Maureen and I will have a two person exhibit at the UpStairs Gallery in Arlington. The date is March 29th, 2008. Look for some exciting new work.

I have three works in the new Acme Brick Collection. Their new building in Fort Worth opened November, 2007. The Warren Buffet owned corporation is the largest U.S. owned Brick company.

The three 24" square mixed media paintings on a panel are located on the third floor, executive suite across from the main board room. It's a beautiful building and the art looks great!
