Hello! I was recently selected for the Tulsa Artist Fellowship! 2019 is going to be fun.
“The Tulsa Artist Fellowship (TAF) provides an unrestricted award of $20,000 for visual and literary artists for one year. By providing support, artists receive the financial stability and resources they need to pursue their crafts.”
Here are a couple snapshots from the On Freedom exhibition and reception at the Aperture Foundation in NYC. Thrilled to be part of the show. Check out the exhibition if you are in NYC this summer.

My student Shelby Poor will be headed off to graduate school next year. She fortunately had multiple excellent options that included Columbia College Chicago, University of Missouri, Washington State, and CalArts. She's decided to go to CalArts in Los Angeles for her MFA. Congrats, Shelby! Here's a picture of her after she won the Outstanding Senior Award.
Chuyi Wen also won Best in Show in the juried student competition. The juror was Donna Davies from SOFA. She exhibited several excellent photographs of train riders in China.
Exciting times!
I just gave a lecture at the Society for Photographic Education regional conference at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art.

I also showed images from my new and ongoing project called Rumbleville: Tulsa, OK.
I have a piece currently on display in Athens, Greece. My photograph taken in the Los Angeles area is on display at the Blank Wall Gallery.
