I earned a BFA in sculpture at the School of Art & Design at Texas State University in San Marcos, TX and transitioned into painting after art school. For many years I created large scale abstract canvases. While on sabbatical in 2015 I spent two months in Manhattan, walking every block of the island — covering all 700 miles of the city's streets. This odyssey was documented in photographs intended to be used for studies for a large body of painting work for an upcoming show. The unintended result, however, was an exhibition of large scale photographs with an accompanying book, Urban Hike of Manhattan. I have considered myself primarily a photographer ever since.
