This piece is one of my favorites. It began as a small sketch based off the feeling of being in a relationship that you know isn't for the best, but feels great at the time. I built the wood panel myself and installed the light. the Led light can be made to beat or continuously glow via remote.

This piece is the first in my modern Louisiana Series and combined my love of realism and graphic design. the carefully rendered Alligator (AKA big Big Blue) contrasts with the simplicity of the geometric background

these pieces also fall into the modern Louisiana series and are actually about my parents. The states in the background represent where they are from louisiana (sunburst) and Mississippi (Moonbeam). The Great blue herons, who begin white and turn blue over time, represent the growth of their bond and relationship.

this is the latest in the modern louisiana series. i wanted to take a classic louisiana symbol and do a slight twist. The goal was to make the distortion very subtle, so that you might miss it if you were scanning over a room. to accomplish this i chose a very simple composition with few colors and a plain background. I used gesso and acrylic to create texture and add depth to the negative space.
