About The Artist
For about three years, while living in West Texas and Texoma, I drew and painted cowboys and natives in a neowestern style under the monicker "Popart Cowboy." I created over 100 of these works, mostly acrylic on canvas, and did some commissioned portrait paintings. In 2024, I relocated to the Houston metropolitan area and pivoted to abstract acrylic paintings incorporating bricolage and divisionism.
My art has been exhibited at galleries and museum shows all over Texas including Midland, Lubbock, Wichita Falls, Texarkana, Elgin, Baytown, Houston as well as Los Angeles, CA and Paris, France. I have been a finalist in the 2nd Bold Colors Art Competition with the Blue Koi Gallery. In July of 2024, the Visual Art Journal of Philadelphia featured two of my paintings and in 2025, the City of Sugar Land, Texas will feature my floral paintings on traffic boxes as part of their Civic Arts Program.
I hold a BA in English from the College of Charleston, an MA in English from The University Texas - Permian Basin and an MFA in Integrated Media Arts from Hunter College of the City University of New York. I studied Drawing at Midland College with Dagan Sherman and color theory at the Art Students League of New York with Ronnie Landfield.
I am a member of the Art League of Baytown (ALB) and the International Association of Art (IAA/USA).
