BIO

Originally from Wyoming, I began my art career in Austin, Texas as a graphic artist. My work appears in a number of poster retrospectives from that era, including the books, The Art of Rock (1987, Abbeville Press) and Homegrown (2015,Texas Monthly Press). During my time in Austin I was privileged to study photography under the legendary street photographer, Garry Winogrand who made a profound impression on me through his philosophy on photography. My early work in music and street art has come full circle and found it’s place in my current work in street photography, capturing the zeitgeist of this remarkable time and place in Nashville.
