Aside from teaching, my professional activity and achievement as an artist is historically applied art and design that started in 1990 when was hired into an art department after a career in IT. In 2006 I learned of and began to seek available grants to fund my personal but public art projects.

I’m actively seeking commissions for temporary and permanent public art and design work. My relevant experience includes a career as an Art Director, Industrial Designer, Construction Manager, Museum Art Operative,  Adjunct Professor, Artisan, and commissioned site-specific Artist. Obelisk Engineering is providing my business Design Silo office space at the SLIVR building on historic Film Row in Oklahoma City.

Notable influences include working with Architect and Artist Paolo Soleri, exposure to contemporary art while working in Chicago, adventures throughout pre-capitalist China, learning about my Irish heritage as a first generation American, participating in Burning Man, and the extremities of biology and geography while living among the sky islands of the Western U.S.
