Printmaking from Temple College, followed by his Bachelor of Fine
Arts in Studio Art at the University of Texas at Austin. He has had
experience as an Art Therapist with Scott & White Hospital Nursing in
Temple, Texas, and as an Art Teacher at Bellaire High School,
Houston ISD, in Bellaire, Texas.
often are those that are most relevant to my life as an adult and a
parent. Poverty, religion, beauty, and death are themes that recur with
my work because these are some issues that raise questions that I
struggle with as an adult. I use humor and sarcasm to approach
these subjects so that they are, (at least to me) more palatable. All of
my work is, in one way or another, a self portrait, or at the very least,
autobiographical. Some are narratives as well.
"I enjoy working in a variety of media. Although steel and cast
sculpture are my favorite media, I also enjoy painting and printmaking,
specifically screen-printing. I commonly use a variety of techniques
and media within the same piece, as I feel the subject or theme
requires."
