Biography
My inspirations originate from my family experiences and professional career as an architect. I learned the use of color and its relationship to emotion from my mother. Encouragement with experimentation, creativity, and originality from my father, and persistence from both parents. I spent my early childhood along the Mississippi River, boothill of Missouri, and later in life in the Ozarks of Missouri. My adult education in architectural design from the Ozarks in Arkansas. As a trombonist, I pull compositions from my musical background as well as my art and architectural education. I am a practicing architect in Houston, Texas. I use bright and vibrant colors within my work to suggest emotion and wonder. When you analyze my compositions, I suggest you observe the negative space revealing concepts beyond the subject matter. Shadows appearing on supposed physical items, or created by proposed elements that don't actually exist, yet are insinuated. Long strokes of color also illustrate movement and action.
