VITA
• Selected by the City of Baltimore’s Civic Design Commission to
design a wall mural depicting the life and accomplishments of Thomas Jefferson
for the Thomas Jefferson Elementary School. Installed in 1997, the mural consists
of five 5' x 4' framed panels. Each panel examines a significant time period
in Jefferson's life. Using original artwork and images from the public domain,
the mural was designed on a Macintosh computer and the digital files were
then coverted to photographic print material.
• Hold the distinction of being the only visual artist to be named to
the three major regional photographic surveys: Photo Baltimore '77, 1977;
Photographic Survey of Maryland, 1979; and North Avenue Legacy, 1988. Each
selection was a highly competitive position juried by respected panels and
committees.
• Commissioned by the Mass Transit Administration of Maryland Arts Panel
to design a permanent photographic mural for the Mondawmin Station of the
Baltimore Subway System. Located above the mezzanine pedestrian level, the
mural encompasses
three 10’ X 12’ light boxes and consists of backlit, translucent
3M Panaflex outdoor advertising material. Titled Archetype, the mural of abstract
human faces was installed in 1983.
• First Maryland-born artist to be given a one-man photographic show
at the Baltimore Museum of Art. Exhibited in 1976, several images from the
Rites of Passage series are now part of the museum's permanent collection.
• Maintain a home studio for my private and commercial work. Selected
commercial clients include CSX Corporation, Comfort Inns, Epic Records, General
Elevator, Johnson Controls, Maserati (USA), O&K Rolltreppen (Germany),
and Westinghouse.
• Self-published five photographic posters of Baltimore that capture
the spirit of the city. To date have sold over 50,000 of these posters throughout
the United States.
