Scarbrough Building Solo Show

Presented by Real Gallery, there is a solo exhibition of my work at the Scarbrough Building Lobby in Austin from May 16th to June 20th, featuring a mix of prints and originals. It's a rare chance to see the original Andromeda Galaxy drawing.

There's an announcement for my show in the May 21st Austin Chronicle on page 61:

Thanks so much to my mother Sandy, Betsy, and Ricky!  Without your hard work and beautiful installation, there wouldn't be a show!

Ballpoint Pen on Paper


This is a recently finished commissioned work. I enjoyed developing the little interacting moments in the bottom left, while still making the two larger interacting light images the focus. The balance of the piece was an interesting challenge, and I had fun synthesizing all the elements.

The Universe is Infinite...

...and so are the stars created solely by intersecting circles in my ballpoint pen drawings. Here's a journey to "The Center of the Universe"

I hope this adds to your experience of my work. It's the next best thing to actually seeing it in person.

For The Universe

Artist Statement
My art is meant to share my experience of the universe. I’m creating the absence of light in order to form light. I use materials and forms that are familiar, like ballpoint pen, circles and infinity symbols. My hand moves intuitively when applying marks, but I keep my eye open to forms I wish to convey. Through this process, I create an active relationship between the infinitely small world of details, the infinitely large world of detail-created forms, and you, the viewer.
