My devotion in life has always been art, geography (maps), and history in that order. By combining these three passions I am striving to bring my viewers into a particular time in history by utilizing maps, interesting factoids, and visuals of historical events and it’s people. By merging all of these elements using pen and ink (stipple technique) on acrylics I have rendered a unique, cohesive, and educational experience by visually immersing my viewers into a specific era. The world and it’s history is vast, but being that I am a seventh generation Texan it made sense to begin with my “Battlefield Texas Series.” My next map series will focus on the American Civil War (1861-1865) with the main battlefield map of this series to include every battle site in it’s geographic location.
