Gallery and Exhibition History
I have always had an affinity for public art. The feeling that I get out of inspiring and touching lives that I never could have imagined drives me and pushes me forward like nothing else can. I began entering galleries in the latter part of 2019 and have been in over 70 galleries and exhibitions since. Below is a list of the exhibitions and the corresponding pieces that I have been in, along with the awards and publications that I have been afforded with as well.

Community Projects
Denver International Airport TBD 2021: I have been working with the team at DIA since 2017 on developing a “Colorado Through the Seasons” exhibit which will feature 35 pieces of mine through the 4 seasons. We have all the collateral produced as well as the prints, unfortunately the exhibit was postponed until further notice the week before it was going up. It should be up sometime in 2021 as of now.
Children’s Hospitals and Ronald McDonald Houses (2013 – 2018): I drew and painted 65 children’s characters for children’s hospitals and Ronald McDonald houses in California, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona over a 5-year period.
Prospectus #260 Acclaimed Artist Purchase Initiative 2020 – 2022: I was accepted into the state of New Mexico’s Art in Public Places program in November of 2020. My large format artwork (25’ x 25’) will be in a pool for the potential buyers across the state of New Mexico to purchase for the venues.
Town of Superior Artist Roster 2021: I was selected to be a part of the artists pool that will provide public art for opportunities that arise in the Town of Superior, CO.
“Pray For Colorado” Prints 2020: In response to the worst wildfires in the history of Colorado I decided to go take photos of the smoke that was taking over the skies of Denver and turned them into fine art. I decided I would donate 100% of the profits of 4 prints to the victims of the wildfires. I got linked up with Denver7 Gives and through my social network and their news stories I was able to donate $4,000 in October to the Denver7 Gives fund which agreed to match my donation.
