Some of the paintings with collaged travel drawings that are included in my solo exhibition at Galleri Urbane, Dallas. Each drawing was made while moving through landscape by train, car, or by foot, and then collaged to the raw circular panel as a foundation for a painting emanating outward.

I have a solo show up at Galleri Urbane in Dallas through February 15. Here are some images of it.
