My senior thesis at Ringling College of Art & Design- These works focus on my love of: COLOR, plein air landscapes, and the importance of mindfulness.
artist statement-
Clear your mind. Look at everything. Zero in, don’t obsess. We are wasted youths. All senses, singular, enlightened. A landscape as a container for a message. Live for this moment. Drink it all in.
This is a message, a container for a landscape

Here are some pictures of a job I did with Hope Hippo Learning Lab (http://www.hopehippo.org/). The exhibition is aimed at educating children about Florida's first people.
Myself and another illustrator, Laura Spencer (http://paperweightpigs.blogspot.com/), designed and painted this 4-wall mural for a permanent children's exhibition in the Museum of History in our hometown of beautiful St. Petersburg Florida.
Below are some W.I.P. shots and the finished product.
If you're in town, stop by downtown and check out the museum for yourself, there's a two-headed cow and a mummy in there! http://www.spmoh.org/
