    Current Happenings

    - Finishing up the semester at PennWest University and St. Vincent College teaching Drawing an Honors Humanities course, and 2 Art History Intro courses. My students have been doing some amazing work this semester. Next semester I'm teaching a section of Global Art History survey at PennWest.

    - Recently completed a mural called Baptism for the sanctuary at Eastminster Church in Pittsburgh (visible above). The design features the source of living water coming from the hands of Jesus at the top, who pours it into the hands of diverse people, who pass it on to each other. The water symbolically ends up in the baptismal font at the bottom. 

    - A large-scale mural that I completed last Summer (2022) in Morgantown, WV (seen above) was featured on the front cover of the Dominion Post that serves North Central WV. It was also featured on a local TV news story about the latest murals in Morgantown.

    - Planning an artist residency project with Ambridge High School for this Spring, 2023. I'll be working with an amazing and inspired art teacher -- Jamie Orth -- on a large-scale mural for downtown Ambridge where we'll show some aspects of local history and touch on the present and future.

    - Continuing my studio series -- INNERSCAPES -- this Winter and Spring with a couple exhibitions in the works -- including a two-person show at Ketchup City gallery in Sharpsburg, PA.

    - Planning for other murals and artist residency projects for this year.
