Some of the ideas I work with in my art are layers, contained chaos, simplicity, the abstract, landscape, color usage, and working with opposites.
I work with the medium that best suits the idea I have. This has included mixed media, oil on canvas, photography, sculpture, and public participation pieces. I am known to work with hand-collected pigments/sands, found objects, and different paints, and/or drawing processes.
I graduated from ASU Magna Cum Laude with a BFA in Painting, but I find that the more time passes the more I see that it didn't matter where I studied, but just that I continued to make art.

More exhibits include showing at Studeo Tad, the AZ State Fair, "Arizona Room" at the Mesa Arts Center, "Exclusively Photography" at Eleven East Ashland, my BFA exhibit "On the Two-Dimensional Plane," and others.
I have been fortunate to have my work help support various causes including Susan G. Komen cure for breast cancer, The New Foundation, The Montessori Christian Academy, Pride Scholarship Fund, NAU Athletics, Free Arts of Arizona, and a few others. I am always willing to help support a good cause.
If you know of any great spaces to exhibit, or any spaces that would be open to public/performance type pieces please let me know about them. I am particularly looking for venues that aren't afraid of fire, or the idea of destruction/construction as art.
Thanks.
