I have been a working drummer/percussionist for over 50 years. My musical carrier started in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia playing enlisted men’s service clubs and area clubs at 16.  I moved to Baltimore in 1972 from Portsmouth, Virginia to attend the Maryland Institute-College of Art receiving a BFA degree in 1977. I have played a wide variety of music in the Baltimore / Washington area for over 48 years, R&B, soul, traditional American, Punk and Irish.
 It has been a wild and crazy trip after moving to Baltimore, Maryland in 1972, from playing CBGB’s with Da Moronics to playing The White House for President Obama with O’Malley’s March. I truly have been blessed.  I have been recorded on over 30 CDs in a wide variety of musical styles over the last 40 years. Over the last 20 years my solo musical projects have been based around deep percussion tracks, ambient field recording, and melodic musical passages. On these ambient particular CDs, they go by the group name of “Brain Forest”, which some of which have guest artists as well.      

With COVID lock down, lost bookings, and less opportunities to play with other musicians in 2021, I have found myself recording more music and videos in order to stay connected with my artistic community. Here are a few more pieces from 2021. 

His newest works which are now under way are based on the Four Classical Elements, Fire, Air, Water, & Earth. The first of which is based of Water. This series of works embrace all the different artistic disciplines he so enjoys. After much thought he realized all these different things he has been creating are all just parts of larger pieces of art. The sculptural aspect of these works will embrace his years of work in the prosthetic & orthotic field, The objects which will be adorning the figures will embrace his new found love of making jewelry, The back panels will provide a component for his love of oil painting landscapes and a surface for secret geometry patterns, He is very excited to be working on these new pieces. He reports, there is still so much still to do!

Over the last year I have been interest in the study of "Scared Geometry" and how these repeated patterns and images resurface over and over in different cultures, in nature, and architecture. I found these works to be very mediative to paint and to view. I am excited to start incomprating these forms into my other works,  

This collection of landscapes, I refer to as "Landscapes From Memories Of Places I Have Never Been".
When I studed painting at MICA in 1972-1977 my work went in the direction of large abstract field painting.
As I grow older I have been drawn back to more tradition subject matter, with this series of painting - which are much smaller in size. I long to now paint these painting very large, turning inches into feet.

My Jewelry! 
For over 35 years I worked in the orthotic and prosthestic field, making, adjusting and fitting those needed devices. Looking at my work bench then and  looking at my jewelry bench now, they both look very much alike. The skills, tools and techniques are so similar, but now miniature.
