BIO
I was born in Clarksdale, MS, heart of the Delta Blues. I grew up on the Gulf Coast and still call it home today. My greatest artistic influence as a kid was Warhol. As far as painters go, I love Frankenthaler, Rauschenberg and too many other American and International Pop and Contemporary artists to name. At the University of South Alabama I studied four years of Graphic Design, Printmaking and photography. I learned all types of intaglio techniques under master printmaker, Sumi Putman and began focusing on monoprints , collographs and etchings. At the same time I was experimenting with computer printmaking. It was an exciting time when Macs were introduced to our art department, still in the infancy of the apple revollution. Since then , I have enjoyed great success in combining my fine art with graphic design. I still love primitive quality of hand pulled prints and the satisfaction of creating a superior etching. As a American printmaker, I will continue to grow, explore new mediums and document the social, techno, economic, political and cultural trends happening all around me and most of all promote creative thinking.
