My work has been exhibited in 30 solo and group shows both locally and nationally, and in 1988 I received a National Endowment for the Arts Grant for my paintings. As a commercial artist my Illustrations were published in the Washington Post and other local and national publications, and from 2007- 2020 I was an audio/visual technician for the Smithsonian NPG/SAAM and Renwick Gallery

Photo Reels
I use a Panasonic point and shoot camera. Just taking the bus downtown, walking around DC trying to look like a hopeless tourist, fiddling with the thing, invisible, then shoot from the hip
Animations
The animations were made in Freeway software. I drew the animations with my drawings and photographs as background, then edited the sequence and tempo.
