“Medication Reminder”

Collaborated with the artist Hunter Reynolds.

Under his art direction I created 18 works of art in Photoshop. This is the second body of work I did for Hunter.

This work displayed at PPOW Gallery, New York, NY, Chicago EXPO Fall of 2015, and in LA. One artwork was commissioned by Dr. Daniel Berger who is a pioneer for the cure of AIDS. This work continues to tour worldwide and has been purchased by three museums. February- March 2011

“Survival AIDS”

Collaborated with Hunter Reynolds.

Hunter is a special artist and my friend for 25 years. This body of work was a creation of twenty 60x48 inch Photo Weavings, each composed of 120 individual photographs that was sewn together to create a large tapestry, or weaving as Hunter calls it.

Again, under the art direction of the artist Hunter Reynolds I realized his vision in Photoshop.

The photographs themselves represent large scale collages of newspaper articles in the collection of personal archives of Hunters from the 1990s talking about AIDS and LGBT political and sociological culture. This work displayed at Participant Inc. New York, NY Collaborated with Michael Medora, a London based Holographer. Michael and I researched the potential of color mixing with light and develop a final hologram. . I designed original artwork and executed to glass plates. I created 3 black and white plates for separation. Finals used for laser light exposure. Not unlike RGB color. Our experiment’s goal was to predict and control color for holograms.

Collaborated with Cindy Sherman, Fine Art Photographer/ Limoges Publisher: Artes Magnus

Part of a series of limited editions of porcelain dinnerware by renowned artists and fabricators. These pieces have been exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the world. My contribution to this project was designing the supporting fish on vine patterns for a 12-piece dinner setting that surrounded Ms. Sherman’s photographs posed as Madame de Pompadour.
