Creative Destruction is an exhibit that I created with my friend and collaborator, Michael Stout.
For this show, our work tapped into the belief that the process of destruction cultivates an environment of rebirth and creation. What is understood as a destructive force is a natural process that leads to the creation of a new healthy landscape.
We began by reflecting on the natural process of wildfires and then correlated this theme into current politics, immigration issues, environmental destruction, & cultural concerns; questioning the scale of destruction and at what point does the destruction obstruct creation.
The images and close-ups here focus on the works that I personally created for the show. Michael’s work can be seen in the larger gallery shots and where referenced.

Xerocks & Potholes focused on themes of nature, and its cycles of change. Each piece confronts the topic of water, whether it be an observation, a celebration, or a warning. The title is a playful allusion to the subject matter in the work, and the process of photocopying to create the mixed media drawings, paintings and animations.

I was selected as one of the 2021 Aspen Art Museum Fellows. In the spring of 2022 we came back together as a group to present some of our work in a group show at Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass Village, CO (just up the hill from Aspen).
This body of work draws inspiration from a recent trip to the Sonoran Desert, blended with my thoughts and experiences from 2021.
“The word landscape itself becomes problematic: landscape describes the natural world as an aesthetic phenomenon, a department of visual representation. A landscape is scenery, scenery is stage decoration, and stage decorations are static backdrops for human drama.”
--Rebecca Solnit
Exhibited in Carbondale, Colorado at The Launchpad from Sept-Oct. 2017, this show included drawings from the Wingate, and Elastic series.
This collection of drawings is a result of evolving ideas, and observations from my surrounding landscapes, and travels to the Utah desert. Like much of my work, it weaves remnants of past bodies of work, including memories of places I've been or lived.
The Mobank Artboards is a public art program administered by Charlotte Street Foundation. The Artboards are exterior, double-sided billboards rising above Missouri Bank’s Crossroads location at 125 Southwest Boulevard, and present new, commissioned images by Kansas City area artists rotating approximately every three months.
My work was chosen through a competitive process, and displayed December '16 through February '17.
"Arriving at each new city, the traveler finds again a past of his that he did not know he had: the foreignness of what you no longer are or no longer possess lies in wait for you in foreign, unpossessed places."
