Retrospective
I must admit that the course of my career has not been strategically planned. After living in Iceland and working
with Artist, Karen Cross, I decided to continue my education at the Herron School of art were I completed my
first developed body of work. During the final year of my undergraduate studies, my career took its first major
turn as I founded 431 Gallery, my first effort as a curator and arts administrator. By 1995, I had nearly
completed my graduate studies and decided to return to my own studio with a new personal intent and focus.
Shortly thereafter, I took my first leap from the canvas as I explored my low-tech multi-media. After my move to
Dallas, I have continued my exploration of low-tech multi-media using Polaroid photos in Vicarious Emotions
offering an interactive opportunity for the viewer. In Mundane Magic, I have returned to painting with a new
series in which I strive to bring the feel of my multi-media discoveries back to the canvas. I suppose Breaking
News falls somewhere in between as I explore time and my new life in Dallas.
