(Warning: The info in this section may be somewhat out of date.)

Here's my Art Resume, and here's an Artist's Statement + Bio.

I've worked for most of my adult life as a lawyer, mostly on large real estate projects. See my legal resume for details.

In 1990 I began doing substantial pro bono and charitable work for artists and arts organizations, mainly Zoë Artz Project, the Video Association of Dallas, Inc. (“VAD”) (www.videofest.org), and the McKinney Avenue Contemporary (www.the-mac.org). During 1996-98 I served as the first Chair of the Board of VAD; see Arts Administration for more details.

In 2000, I began to devote increasing time and energy to my own creative projects, training myself (with help from Lynda.com) in Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, and other programs; and I also made my first video (Looking Glasses).

In January, 2004, I purchased a B.F.A. from Ben Britt (who received it from University of Texas at Austin in 1983; see the bill of sale here). I also began curating as a way to get to see more video art and to help make up for my lack of formal art education.

For more of my thoughts about what I think I'm doing, see these Essays.
