First Saturday Arts Market (FSAM)

Just this summer, I've started participating in a popular monthly arts market in Houston, The First Saturday Arts Market (FSAM). It occurs on the first Saturday of every month year round and offers extended evening hours during the summer months from 6 until 10. The FSAM is located in the Houston Heights and is in its tenth successful year. This is a prestigious market with limited space and I am so proud to be displaying and selling my work along side fellow artists and craftsmen/women.

Liberty Kitchen

In the fall of 2012, I was commissioned to produce a 16 inch high by 50 foot long photograph that is a permanent installation at Liberty Kitchen—located at Studemont (Montrose) and 11th Street—in the Houston Heights. The piece runs through the back wall of the main dining room and is a compilation of photos taken from the middle of Montrose Boulevard facing north from every major intersection starting at the Mecom fountain in the museum district and ending well past Liberty Kitchen north of the 610 loop. Liberty Kitchen also purchased 25 images from another series in my portfolio titled 'Signs' and they reside in the smaller private dining area.

In the fall of 2013, I was again commissioned to produce a one-of-a-kind installation at their new location in River Oaks, Liberty Kitchen & Oysterette. For this project, Liberty Kitchen wanted a feeling of "grandma's kitchen" at each of their seven extra large booths.

Each booth now contains photos I made of each of the seven neighborhoods surrounding this restaurant location; there are more than two hundred unique photos in this collection. Liberty Kitchen & Oysterette purchased an additional 32 images from my 'Signs' series, printed in black and white, and they are also now part of the permanent installation.

Gulf Coast Veterinary Specialists (GCVS)

GCVS is the largest animal hospital specialty group in this part of the country and I was selected by an art director working on a brochure for them (www.gcvs.com) to make some photos of the staff and their animals. I set up a studio in one of the GCVS conference rooms and made over 90 portraits in two days. The client was so enamored with the photographs, they contracted me to produce large format prints (5'x 4') for permanent display in their facilities. There are more than twenty-five prints in the collection.
