He holds a Master of Fine Arts degree in painting from Virginia Commonwealth University where he currently teaches drawing, art theory and the history of visual communications. His theoretical interests derive from an earlier career in advertising as well as his fluency in French and Spanish. He developed an interest in the conflict between words and images in the 1990s when Americans began to describe their national divisions as a “culture war.” He currently participates in regional and international exhibitions, and his work is represented in corporate collections and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. His work can be seen at Chapman in the exhibition Geometric Aljamía, Argyros Forum.
