I hope you enjoy exploring my work, which spans a variety of disciplines, including painting, zero gravity “Drift Painting,” digital photography, community collaborative arts projects, digital video, drawing, installation, digital acrylic transfer paintings, digital compositing, sculpture, and mixed media.

A truly astonishing experience was provided to me was an opportunity to float in zero gravity and create art aboard NASA’s KC135 turbot. It was incredible to finally realize a vision I first conceptualized in 1974 as “drift paintings,” bringing it to life on April 4, 1998 through my inaugural zero-gravity arts project Research Project Number 33: Investigating the Creative Process in a Microgravity Environmenbt.

The evolution of concepts and language within my papers has always fascinated me. Among all my endeavors, community-based collaborations have proven the most demanding to establish, yet they’ve also yielded the deepest satisfaction. There’s immense gratification in knowing I’ve contributed a legacy of experiences that have resonated with so many individuals.
