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…

Install shots from a show currently at Artworks in Loveland, Colorado. The show is up until December 18. Send your friends! I love this cool clean industrial space and was so happy to show here. There are artist studios as well as the galleries. It was great meeting some other artists and people from the community at the talk and opening. ⁠⠀

This is my son Linus and I at my recent show in Loveland, CO. It was tough picking from many many recent insanely cute photos of him. He is a pretty chill baby and likes meeting new people and seeing new places. He loves all my favorite things--looking at art, listening to music and @jiemeilin! ⁠(@meidrawsgirls). In his six months he’s probably been to more art events than most people attend in a lifetime. Do you know any babies with artist parents? ⁠

Every time I do an exhibition I try and augment or create a piece or small installation using objects found in the area where I'm showing. For this piece there wasn't an outlet nearby this section of wall, but I wanted to do something that was in conversation with the rest of the work, using technology and ideas of nature. At an antique store just a couple blocks from the gallery I found this great battery operated atomic clock, a fifty-year old level (that still works!) and a vintage postcard. On my way back to the gallery to figure out how to put them together I also noticed a gem store with these blue quartz stones. I expect this clock to still be running accurate within a few tens of quadrillionths of a second when I return for deinstall. ⁠⠀

this is from a test install from the spring. after a lot of planning, painting, cutting and tinkering, when I first plugged everything in it was like Christmas. I made some larger pieces more recently but but seeing this image now of the small ones together makes me think I should keep making a bunch of them at this size (also cheaper to ship! 😅) ⁠⠀

not the best but not the worst sky I've painted. I made a few paintings from photos I took in the Philippines.  Island Hopping 2⁠⠀

Grateful to have been awarded 2019 GAP Award funding from @artisttrust to support an ongoing body of work called Hypercombines. These works will be included in upcoming solo exhibitions at Artworks in Loveland, CO in November, 2019 and at Chase Gallery in Spokane, WA in January 2020. Specifically, the GAP will provide support for electronic materials that will be incorporated into works that are part oil-painting and part new media works. ⁠⠀

I had this same keyboard when I was a kid and I still have it. I found an identical one in a thrift store recently and knew it had to go in a piece. I tape down a few keys so it plays a chord. The thing now reminds me of my late father, who bought me the keyboard in the 1992, shortly before he died. It wasn't what I was thinking about when I started the piece, but somehow there it is. Now that I'm a dad and have a son, a lot of fond memories with my dad snapped back into focus. ⁠⠀
