Creating Sculptures, Murals & Place-Based Installations For Your Community.

FERRO DI PRUA - TWIN SCULPTURES, LAS COLINAS, TEXAS

The Ferro di Prua sculpture project has been installed. Final lighting installation and detailing are completed. For those wondering, "Ferro di Prua" translates to "Iron Bow." It's the iconic design you see at the front (bow) of Venice gondolas. Functionally, it serves as a counter-weight to the gondolier standing at the stern. Symbolically, each shape in this historic design represents an island, a district, a bridge, and even the pompous hat of the Doges of Venice.

TRINITY METRO TEXRAIL NORTH ENTRANCE PLATFORM, DFW INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

My designs for the TEXRail DFW Airport North Entry Station Public Art Project have been installed. Six graphics placed throughout the seating areas of the loading platform. TEXRail commissioned individual artists to create artwork for each of the train station locations along the rail line between Fort Worth and DFW Airport.

DESIGN ELEMENT DETAILS

THE DANCING ARCH PROJECT - CIELO PLACE, FORT WORTH, TX

The re-purposing of a historic Church leads to mixed feelings. The community feels a certain loss while cautiously accepting the new beginning for a loved icon. The new Race Street presents a vibe of area revival, artistic expression and a laid back Bohemian style life. I felt the replacement of the old lighted Church sign with a colorful tribute to the area while maintaining elements of the old church would tie the new venue, the new community and the old community together in a visual style.
