This painting is, in many ways, an extension of me. It relates to my body, in that its size corresponds to my reach, my height, my center of gravity. I wanted to have my gestural movements captured on the canvas that were tied to my body as I reflected on my experiences. The paintings in this series are abstract and emotionally expressive. Simply put, the painting succeeds if I or the viewer experience emotional movement from the painting. That transference of energy is healing (and I guess that makes me a sort of healer, a self-healer, or perhaps a shaman). I often paint on a large scale (5' x 7' or larger). This scale matches that of my reach. And the actions captured in the brushstrokes and colors matches the motion of my body as I experience the release of painting.","price":"Not for sale","date_created":"2017","medium":"Oil on canvas","dimensions":"90\" x 65\"","frame":"Unframed","notes":"Related projects: Bali Hai, Exit, Auxliium Cito, Defensible, Aftermath"},{"id":48,"project_name":"Binary Protoytpe I","category":"Printmaking","img_url":"https://nft-mint-cdn.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/binaryPrototype1.png","project_description":"This work explores the transformation of an image through a system of code-based rules and technological processes in a virtual space, with a re-emergence back in to the physical world.

I was fortunate that one of my Professors informed me about an art contest being held by Airbus Helicopter - the manufacturer of the helicopter that I flew for 12 years in the US Coast Guard. The contest was for the creation of an original illustration to honor the Lakota people as Airbus named the US Army’s newest helicopter after them (in keeping with Army tradition of honoring Native American warriors by naming their helicopters after them - Iroquois, Kiowa, Chinook, Blackhawk, and now Lakota). Because of my early affiliation with the Army, my many years of flying Airbus equipment, my decision to go to art school on my GI Bill, it was a seemed to be a pre-destined culmination of all of my experiences up to that time. And with my newfound honor of winning the contest, I was very humbly afforded a great opportunity - an invitation to the Badlands in South Dakota to the Pine Ridge Reservation to meet the family of Eagle Elk, the Lakota chief whose image I used as inspiration for the piece.\n\nThe image I painted is based on a historical photograph of Eagle Elk from the Library of Congress. Eagle Elk's face becomes one with the mountain and his head-dress becomes one with the clouds. These are both symbolic of strength, a spiritual oneness with nature, and of the eternal spirit of all great and honorable warriors.\n\nA Lakota helicopter skims the treetops in the nap of the earth - another symbol of honorable strength and the ancient warrior spirit in the modern age.","price":"Not for sale","date_created":"2016","medium":"Gouache on Art Paper","dimensions":"24\" x 36\"","frame":"Professionally framed - white","notes":"L*https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YVFuJNUnbg*Airbus Press Release*https://verticalmag.com/press-releases/painting-honors-iconic-lakota-warrior-eagle-elk/*Vertical Magazine*https://www.dallasnews.com/arts-entertainment/visual-arts/2016/12/16/dallas-artist-wins-a-contest-for-painting-a-portrait-of-eagle-elk-a-symbol-for-the-military-s-new-lakota-helicopter/*Dallas Morning News*https://www.smudailycampus.com/news/meadows-student-wins-art-contest-honoring-lakota-people*Southern Methodist University Daily Campus*Related projects: Athenian, Study for Athenian, First Light Search, Spirit of the Lakota"},{"id":65,"project_name":"Fragile Geometry 3-5-6","category":"Generative","img_url":"https://nft-mint-cdn.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/fgp3p5p6.jpg","project_description":"The forms in this piece, from my Fragile Geomtery series, are 3-D shapes generated with computer code.
