Artist’s Statement:

"As an artist who has taken an experimental approach to materials and techniques, I have enjoyed working upon such disparate projects as large-scale public sculpture, murals, mixed media works and paintings. Born in Galveston,Texas, I studied art at Art Center College in Los Angeles, worked at Graphicstudio in Tampa, Florida and have twice received National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships.

Fascinated with a variety of visual information systems; from charts, maps and cartography; I have developed the symbols, grids, outlines and colors that provide the patterns and styles used in my work.

Color, Shape, Form, Line, Composition,Variety,Texture, Symmetry are all classic, modernist, tools which define and characterize my work and provide visual stimulus."
