In 2014, selections from “Night Pools”, an ongoing series of paintings, were shown in his first one-person museum show at the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City. More recently, he expanded upon the pool motif with large-scale paintings for “Until It’s All You See”, a solo exhibition at Studios Inc, a three-year residency program in Kansas City. In September of 2016, he debuted a new body of work, “Memorial”, at Haw Contemporary, in Kansas City, Missouri. His work is in collections including the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Capitol Federal Hall at the University of Kansas, Emprise Bank Collection of Art, and significant private collections across the United States.
