I began working on large public works (murals and mosaics) due to my involvement with K 12 Gallery. My murals have developed into a detailed, dimensional, flat color style due to my work with the juvenile courts. A love of nature or appreciation for Dayton, OH are my most common themes. I intend to continue to focus on public works and mosaics.
