Bellow are both photoshop and illustrator designs.   The Compositions above are from a series  called "If they would have known" Simple compilations of images of family photos     The Images above are graphics designed from an engagement photo shoot I did in 2001, for a couple I knew from School.

The photos above are from a sculpture that was inspired by the work of Annette Lawrence, an artist out of the Dallas / Fort Worth area. The work above is a series titled: My Life. It is four foot tall two foot wide by two foot deep.There are 8 pieces. When assembled, they take up the floor space equivalent of a full sheet of plywood. The only items I used on this project were; wood, string, stain, eye hooks, a computer to generate the pattern for the strings, a projector to project the pattern onto the wood, c ad player to play the music that was represented by the strings. I used a program called Audacity, normally used for sound editing. I used it to get an output for the pattern of a section of a song that reflected my life. This work of art won best of show at the college in 2007, and student choice award the same year. As far as I am aware, this was one of the largest undertakings a student had done for the show. The awards were given on March 18, 2007.  I...

Creating has always come naturally to me. The first time I can clearly remember someone noticing my ability to create was in 5th grade. We were suppose to make an island from a home made clay we had made as homework. The island was to reflect what we envisioned the island looking like from the book we had just finished reading in class. Island of the Blue Dolphins.  Most students did this but, I really got into it. I ended up adding coloring to the modeling clay so that it looked like actual sand, not those white sand beaches in the Caribbean and Pacific.   I had built palm trees and added all sorts of extras, other students did not think of.  The teacher did not notice any of this till the third day we had to work on our projects. It was time for recess and I asked for permission to not go to recess and continue to work on my sculpture project. She was shocked, but reluctantly agreed.  The next couple days went the same. Then Friday was parent/teacher nigh...
