The Trees Live On



My home church built an addition a few years ago. In order to build we had to cut down some very large trees. I was compelled to have the logs from the trees saved to preserve them in some way. This Summer, during the two hottest weeks I took twelve of the rough milled boards from the these oak trees and sanded them with belt sanders and coated them with varnish. There are twelve panels, each averaging 20"-24" wide, that line the Sunday School hall. In some small way, I'm glad these trees could live on and be remembered.

Spotsylvania Education Foundation Awareness



For the past several months I've been working with the Spotsylvania Education Foundation to help develop an awareness campaign to inform the public of how they can get involved and help the community by helping our students. We produced two displays with the students artwork. These displays were at Muvico and Borders through the months of July and August.

Mural at Tabernacle




This past winter I was asked to "warm-up" the side entrance for Tabernacle United Methodist Church. With the approval of the Trustees I moved forward with an mural using earthtones. The Welcome mats and directory signs were also created and designed for each of three entrances.
