About

I am an intermedia artist living and working in eastern Washington state. I grew up in Ohio where I had a short career as a recording artist before returning to the visual arts. My visual art now makes use of a diverse background in web design, music and painting to make works that are part-painting and part-new media installations. I also continue to write songs that balance acoustic and electronic instrumentation. Read more…

Excerpt of “Flags”. I made this a few years ago. As part of a critical practices class I was teaching I invited grad students up to the top of a butte for an afternoon and challenged them to make something interesting using limited materials and time. I only occasionally work with students and I didn’t have a plan to. but I had this orange fabric in the car. When I got to the top of the butte I noticed these orange flags around and just started playing around. I made the sound the next day.

My social media followers. 🤣 fyi

I am looking forward to commemorating the 20th anniversary of the July For Kings (@julyforkings) debut album SWIM with an acoustic concert at the Woodward Theater in Cincinnati Ohio on Saturday November 26th. Joining me onstage will be nearly every awesome dude I performed with over the years. If you’re in the area i hope to see you there! if the ticket sales so far are any indication, in the audience will be a lot of people we haven’t seen in a long time.

When I was a teenager my best friends and I got bored and formed a band in southwestern Ohio. somehow we made a lot of local fans in a short amount of time. we signed a record deal. Thus, SWIM: an alternative rock album by July For Kings that was released on MCA Records in 2002. most of the songs were about my dad’s death or romance—some pretty intense emotions of loss and love. And just trying to figure myself out. as an artist and a young person taking those deeply personal and private feelings and wringing out of them some meaning for a public audience was a challenging but extremely helpful thing to go through. making that record and sharing it made me a better person, brought me a lot of lifelong friends, and gave me the confidence to pursue all kinds of other creative projects and leadership opportunities as an adult. And so I am forever grateful to my band mates and supporters.

the album is truly giving 2002 complete with gloriously distorted walls of guitars. I now sometimes find myself attempting to explain that music and that period in my life to contemporary art enthusiasts or my art students. or conversely, explain contemporary art to my admittedly-dwindling-in-number-but-still-committed music fans. I have been so very fortunate to already have had what feels like two fulfilling lifetimes of experiences in the arts. and I’ve come to terms with a sense of outward bifurcation. at the middle point in my life, i am lucky to have the time and means to reflect and celebrate this random early creative achievement. And with that, i need to go practice! 🎸🎤

Here we go! I am so excited to meet new students tomorrow at @wsufinearts @cas_at_wsu @wsupullman . I have been out of the classroom for a long time, first due to teaching online for over a year and then because I was in the fortunate position of being able to afford to take some professional leave in order to focus on making art, doing exhibitions and being with my family. I was relieved to discover that I did miss teaching and I missed it a lot! I am an introverted person. In the absence of daily or weekly structure that includes people I tend to just hermit goblin and withdraw into my own thoughts and projects. Looking forward to that sudden exiting rocket curve of human interaction that is the fall semester in a college town. It’ll be a crazy week of starting class here in Pullman at WSU then closing an exhibition at NKU in Kentucky. See ‘ya out there. Go cougs!

I had a beautiful relaxing summer with my family. We had a good garden with lots of growing things. We spent a lot of time outside near our home. The northwest did have one heat wave but compared to the scorching apocalyptic summer of 2021, this year was pleasant with thankfully little forest fire smoke. I feel lucky to have an amazing partner and son to enjoy the earth with. 🌎
