I was hand picked by Raymond Nasher from all statewide applicants for a large public art project in downtown Dallas. It involved spending most of that summer inside an abandoned skyscaper painting directly on all ground floor windows to be viewed from the street. The success of that project engendered two grants with which I operated my own studio gallery in Dallas. The work that I sold there are in collections around the world. Four years later I closed the gallery to feed my appetite for a more private life of studio work. Other than one more solo exhibit in 2006, I have since shared my work only on Instagram.
I was born in Corpus Christi, raised in San Antonio, educated at UT Austin and SMU, lived and worked in Dallas for 10 years before moving north once again to Denton where I currently call home with my beloved dogs and my amazing wife, Cassandra – my favorite super hero.
