I use words to create form.
I specialize in work that literally tells a story, art that can be read.
My actual art can be the word “home” – or “cloud” – in 175 languages, or a family’s story, or the history of any city or landmark or drink or organization, or everything about a sports team or a list of everything bees pollinate, or a company’s goals, policies, and business statement, or 2,000 bands from the cassette mixtape era, or anything a client wants it to be. These words can create the Houston skyline, or any city’s skyline, or a sparrow, or a house, or a bee, or a cross, or trees, or cassettes, or a stadium, or a clipper ship, or anything a client wants it to be. I can set pieces up for large groups where everyone can sign or write on the piece but once I fill it in, it becomes a recognizable silhouette of a logo or whatever represents the group – so individuals each have representation in the art on the wall, which together represents the group or the company.
My art is in public spaces like Google Cloud's lobby at Buffalo Heights, St. Luke’s United Methodist Church's main entrance, and the lobby at HPD’s Mounted Patrol headquarters. I've had the honor of helping employees at eight Methodist hospital locations through community art to come to terms with their first year of dealing with Covid cases.
I'm so thankful for those who've seen where my art could go, and helped me create works utilizing corporate stories and personal ones, or allowed me to use art to bring people together, weaving many people’s signatures and/or words together for collective pieces in public spaces. In my line of work, the greatest compliment is to have its uniqueness recognized and enjoyed in public and private spaces, and the greatest honor is to work with clients to make their visions reality.
Attention to detail and respect for the client’s time in prompt communication, clarity of expectations, and consistency in meeting deadlines are essential across industries, and qualities I attribute to success. My goal is to always to meet a client or collector’s needs with joy-inducing accuracy. Art exists to enhance life.
