Research Summary

Primary creative research: paintings on panel, most adapted from my travel sketchbooks. My most recent solo show, "A World Away", 24 paintings, opened in May, 2024 at Phillips Gallery in Salt Lake City. I have begun work on a new project related to that series: an artist's book of images derived from 3 recent trips to Spain. This is the culmination of a project initiated in 2022 with funding from the University Research Committee.

Work-in-progress

With the solo show "A World Away" resolved, I have begun work on an artist's book of images. The book will touch on some of the same material from my travel sketchbooks from 3 recent trips throughout Spain.
