Many years ago I pursued a degree in art. My primary are of interest at the time was sculpture, but an interest in painting and drawing developed. While studing abroad, in Germany during undergrad, I was fairly prolific with my drawing. Unfortunately a lot of that work was lost during the move back to the States, and what remained of that was further diminished over the years, whether from a lack of proper storage or from further moves to NYC. It is something I've enjoyed, and an old passion I want to rekindle as I find the time. 

Originally I worked with clay and was interested in pursuing sculpture through the medium of cast synthetics, but at UofO I was introduced to metal casting, namely bronze and aluminum. As with my prior paintings and drawings, I have very little left of my sculptures. Ceramic pieces were lost in moves, some broken, and metal pieces were either given as gifts, or stolen while I was out studying in Germany. What I have left of the work are pieces that were intended for larger works. I kind of like them because they have an archeological aura about them.

When I was a child, shortly before Halley's Comet passed by, for Christmas I got a telescope. I used to stand in the middle of a fallow field in rural Florida, peering into night sky with the Milky Way splayed across the night sky. During the pandemic lockdown I started playing around with astrophotography. Very amateur at the moment, NYC's not great for it, and by no means is it the quality I want, but I'm deeply fascinated by the movements of the night sky. Seeing the Milky Way is humbling, and takes me back to my childhood.
