of course pictures of pictures lose quality, but i think
these are still worth viewing.  
photograph of an asian
style lantern made in art
II with balsa wood and
rice paper.  mine was
the only hanging one in
the class!
this depicts (left) an interesting assignment
mr. whymark gave us in art II. we drew a still life,
cut up the drawing, reassembled it, and then on
good paper copied the reassembled drawing,
and colored it with prisma colored pencils.  my
piece was selected to be in a show of high
school art at the county board of education.

seasons and various correlating aspects of
nature
Spring 2001
the images to the left show the early stages of a
design for the College of Southern Maryland's
bookstore of a hawk (the schools mascot).
This maquette is about 3'8" wide and 16" tall.  
The finished piece has a petina similar to the
water monster's.
Due to cost, the college decided not to have the
20' one fabricated.  The maquette was my first
real commissioned piece.
