Coming Back from the Airport

2015

It's an engineering miracle! "Coming Back from the Airport" continues my interest in--possible obsession with--overpasses, street lines, and other sculptures and designs embedded in our urban landscape. Coming back from the airport one morning, I saw an off-ramp like this and had to make it. The structure is remarkable from all angles. Layers of color exude from the grass and sky, and that little red car just pops! This medium-sized work will look great on any wall.

I was born and raised in New Orleans, and at a young age I took interest in local art and culture. Leaving behind engineering scholarships at 19 to fully pursue my art interests, I soon booked my first exhibit in New Orleans showing colored-pencil sketches based on studies of Degas' dancers.

After these Degas' studies and many others of great artists, I began pursuing a new, self-taught method that formed into the sculptural-painting and collage techniques I use today. My works using these techniques have been shown in New York, New Orleans, and Oklahoma City galleries.
