Painting, Illustration, and Graphic Arts

I've always had a passion for creating art and in 1989 I received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting and Drawing from the University of North Texas. Since then I've been an occasional freelance illustrator and have incorporated my drawing skills into my other work whenever possible.

Installation Art

Watershed, 2025. This work, part of the Liquid Commonwealth exhibition at the Muscarelle Museum in Williamsburg, is a rumination on the tidewater and piedmont landscapes that I love to explore and photograph. The wood structure is draped in three banners. Each of the six sides of these banners represents one of the major Virginia watersheds leading to the Chesapeake Bay. The banners call out the names of the rivers, runs, creeks and bays that feed each watershed and that have drawn people to water-adjacent settlements throughout the state.

Richmond Gate, 2018. This work, exhibited outside the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts as part of the annual InLight festival. invites viewers to consider a small sampling of Richmond’s long history using the words of the city’s own inhabitants, both past and present. Viewers interact with the installation by walking around and through it, and by touching the artwork’s fabric sheath to reveal the shadowy words and shapes formed by the gate’s interior lights.

The Castaway’s Lair, 2005. This installation was part of the Norfolk Botanical Garden's 'Treasure Island' exhibit. The task assigned to designers for this competition was to interpret an theme or element of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island in a landscape installation. Inspired by the character of Benn Gunn, a castaway stranded for years on the island, I created a small hideaway where Gunn could keep watch over the island and leave mysterious clues for anyone who found his hidden lair.
