Trinity River Basin #2 (JJM), watercolor on paper 22" x 30", 2024
Welcome to my official web site featuring images of my paintings, drawings and information on my art! Having been a contemporary artist since completing graduate study in 1997, I currently work in traditional media including watercolor, oil on canvas and charcoal on paper.
For some time now, my investigations in painting have drawn deeper influence from the Natural world. In fact, a consistent part of my outdoor experience has continually encircled the Texas Chenier Plain. Within this region I have long been inspired by the coastal marshes, inland waterways, timeless beaches and coastal prairies that envelope this part of Southeast, Texas. The current focus of my art is based upon my lifelong exposure to this somewhat ordinary, yet enchanting environment! For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by the sense of deep space, brilliant light and distant horizons found within the Upper Texas, Gulf Coast. My work continues to evolve in my efforts to further understand and articulate what it is about this region that, not only demands my continued observation, but also now warrants center stage in my art! Please view my Watercolors, Oil on Canvas and Drawings sections on this website to peruse images highlighting this growing series.
Further, I am thankful to say that my art can be found in some public and corporate collections regionally, as well as in private collections regionally, nationally and abroad. Consequently, in September of 2018 I participated in my first overseas international exhibition; "Texas Eclectics", a group show featuring 50 Texas artists. The exhibition was held at The Macedonian Museum of Contemporary Art in Thessaloniki, Macedonia, Greece! For more news and information on exhibitions please view my CV and Exhibitions sections on this website.
Since January of 2017 my art has been represented by William Reaves and Sarah Foltz Fine Art in Houston, Texas. In 2019, the gallery became known as Foltz Fine Art.
