The 3D gallery layout design gives reference to the label text location for every item in the exhibit. All of the collection material is placed and hung before the label text is mounted.





Temporary wall installation to accommodate Plexi-cube housing for the Geddes Merchant Marine models display 2011.

The backs of the cubes are lined with Velcro for easy installation and removal from the front of this wall since there is no access from the back. Once the cube is in place its front viewing area is flush with the viewing wall. Hidden panel openings found above the cube will allow easy removal during deinstallation.

The wooden housing the models are in has a special mount and locking device (not pictured) that keeps the box and the models from moving during the installation and deinstallation.

Commissioned by the Lake Travis School District, I created the “On-Campus Field Trip”, a full scale museum reproduction of Deinonychus antirrhopus or Utahraptor. This is a resin-concrete marble dust mixture designed to be buried and dug up by children in a discovery project. My recipe is a sculptable material I can work for 1 hour in small quantities adhering to itself and the armature. It is waterproof when cured for durability. All dimensions are from the actual dig.

"The Dualism of E.A. Poe," one of my digital creations designed exactly the same way I create my original hand cut serigraphs , but produced as giclee on watercolor paper. When studying the art images of the past I wondered, did artists know they were producing an inverted image from the original Daguerreotype?

My early original silk-screen produced for scholastic competition gave me honors, a First place in Austin Regional competition, A First place in Texas State competition and Honorable mention in National competition.

I opened my first picture frame shop when I was 21 with all the award money I had earned from art competitions. Mat sculpting became my signature technique and was much in demand by my clients for over ten years.

The extensions cut in the mat are not part of the actual art, just designed to look like they are.



I have been designing in 3-D programs for many years now. I began in 1986 as a consultant and artistic aid for the computer specialists at Lockheed to design "skins" for the geometrics being used to develop simulators for pilots, the beginnings of virtual reality. I take my 3-D creations and make them 2-D giclee on canvas in large format.

Many of my projects were listed as top secret in 1988 with Lockheed. I was not permitted to photograph or remove much of my work.

As Graphic Designer for Kamstra and 3M, I became very experienced in creative concept, marketing design, and design visualization.

Technical Illustration became the norm for many projects at 3M.

The study of symbology in Heraldry is my special interest.

I produced the technical illustrations and art for this company for many years, as a freelance artist.

I have special interest in the Gothic era and this is a bronze Museum reproduction I have created from the image that follows.

This image is the inspiration to create the reproduction. Originally in the Gothic era this piece would have been used the same way as numbers are now on the front door of your residence, but painted with your heraldic design.

One of my Bronze Sculptures designed to cast a shadow of the Buffalo's head and front leg. Another special interest I have in Native American Indians. This individual was not a chief, medicine man, or the best warrior. He was chosen by the people to wear the full horns, someone they all looked up to. "The Empty Quiver" series

This was my very first bust, which began a unique series of busts with research on the Plains Indian. All sculptures and bases are original one of a kind works. Sculptures produced in a Red Hood clay, fired in a gas kiln, and glazed using iron oxide. All accessories are hand crafted in the authentic manner in which they would have been made.
