I have placed a limited set of my encaustic / 3D mixed media paintings on Amazon. These are all 7″x7″ framed, wired, and ready to hang. Free shipping is available to all US destinations via USPS Priority Mail.
Music-related 3D/ceramic tiles have also been added. These tiles have the added feature of being Amazon Prime eligible (free 2-day shipping for Prime Members).
My ‘Tri-Hexa Oak’ was selected to be in the Houston Visual Arts Alliance 34th Juried Membership Exhibition by juror Zoya Tommy, owner of Zoya Tommy Gallery. The exhibition was at Spring Street Studios Oct 24 through Dec 3, 2016.
This piece was my first full scale use of 3D-printed multi-color hexagons. It was a part of my #Heatstroke3D show at Archway Gallery this past February. The dimensions are 25″ x 19″ including the frame.
It is available for $750 plus tax and shipping if applicable. See my Contact page if interested.

My exhibition wall at Archway Gallery in August, 2016 features my 3D-printed hexagons assembled on encaustic background. These were intended as a tribute to the many bees whose honeycombs provided the beeswax – a base ingredient of encaustic.
The exhibition runs until Labor Day weekend.
Saturday, August 6, I will be among the artists lining 19th Street in The Houston Heights for the 10th Annual White Linen Night in The Heights.

A Summer’s Solstice in 3D is a celebration of earth’s natural rhythms amidst the randomness. 3D-printed elements are incorporated into encaustic paintings in much of the exhibition, characterizing the strict precision of some of earth’s elements (sunrise, sunset, and the timings of the solstices). Encaustic – beeswax mixed with resin – which is applied in a molten state, characterizes the randomness juxtaposed against the precision.
“The Spirograph Sun Also Rises”, Encaustic & 3D-printed ABS, 18″x21″, $500
“White Gaslamp #1″, Encaustic & 3D-printed ABS, 24″x12″x6”, $600
“Gaslamp: Foggy Blue”, Encaustic & 3D-printed ABS, 18″x21″, $500
My Archway Gallery wall in May showcases two of my hexagon-framed pieces and one of my white gaslamps.
The Spirograph Sun Also Rises was inspired by my childhood obsession with my Spirograph set. The lower region has glass shards taken from the door thieves broke through in our home robbery last year.
White Gaslamp #1 features a 3D-printed representation of the gaslamp in our front yard against a green flower garden. The gaslamp, including its supports, took over 20 hours to print in its five sections.
Gaslamp: Foggy Blue is a more 2D interpretation of our gaslamp, against a muddled blue sky.
I was thrilled to receive the “Best in Show” award at Arts in the Square in Frisco, Texas during my Spring 2016 North American Tour. What a wonderful surprise! This was a really well run art fair – the organizers did a stupendous job, the artists’ hospitality was exceptional, the weather was great, and the crowds were amazing.
Combining layered image transfers with 3D-printed ABS, Tchaikovsky: Can’t go that low pulls my violin-playing days together with my oil sector career.
The musical score is the violins’ first bars of the final movement of Tchaikovsky’s 5th Symphony. The bottom portion of the piece is highly-textured encaustic, and the center tree and the colored strata are 3D-printed ABS.
Probably the greatest memory playing the violin came during a particular rehearsal with the Iowa State University Symphony. We were rehearsing Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony. I was no virtuoso by any means – in fact I was way in the back of the second violin section – but this particular rehearsal, on this particular piece, I experienced a period of nirvana: I could not play a wrong note! This never happened again on the violin. And I can’t remember a sensation like that ever happening on the piano.
The inspiration for this piece came from the grand opening motif of the final movement of Tchaikovsky’s 5th. It struck me as odd that all of the violins – half of the strings – dropped out on the critical 8th note of the opening. The note was too low for the violins to play. So everybody else had to punch it. Why didn’t Tchaikovsky just raise the key a few notes?

Juror Anna Tahinci of the Glassell School of Arts at Museum of Fine Art Houston has selected two of my works to be in the Visual Arts Alliance 9th Juried Invitational Exhibition. These are on exhibit on the concourse level of 1600 Smith St in downtown Houston from January 10 through the end of February. These pieces are on the kiosk closest to the stairs.
A position of power 2 is the largest of my 3-piece trio on this subject. I have a koi pond in my front yard and a bayou a half-block away, so every so often we find a heron stop by looking for a snack. This particular fellow flew up to the utility line from the pond deck as I made my presence known. I retreated to the back deck where I had a good shot at him with my Canon camera. I photoshopped out the background trees and sky and put in my own encaustic sky. I then did an image transfer of the image back on top of the encaustic.
Basswood hurricane is from my Tree Basement series described in my Vermiculite and February 2015 posts. It is the smallest of the series which has sold well.
Both are available for purchase. Contact me for logistics. Note that both pieces must remain on exhibition until the conclusion of the show March 19.
