May 23 - June 23, 2024, Artist's reception June 1, 3-6pm

10" from horntip to horntip, I had this loghorn steer sculpture cast in stainless steel for a client's roof deck  in NYC. A little drama underlighting at night and the surrounding buildings will have a lil' piece of Texas in their view. 

Through July 24 the Hui Visual Art Center on Maui is hosting a terrific show of marine inspired art from island artists, including my carved wood nudibranch sculpture from my residency there this past winter. It is dispalyed with all the sea slug inspired artwork from my Maui elementary school sessions - the kids did some really great colored drawings, so great to see them displayed in such an elegant space. 

My 7 weeks as artist-in-residence at the Hui No'eau Visual Arts Center on Maui were wonderful. I worked with local elementary school kids doing nudibranch inspired art workshops and carved an aeolid nudibranch sculpture out of five different woods from the island, which will appear in a marine inspired exhibit at the Hui in May along with the kid's artwork. I had a great time with the kids which further reenforced my commitment to use my artwork to help educate and raise awareness of the biodiversity we are losing from our world at such an alarming rate.
