About me:

Hello! I am a painter-printmaker whose artwork focuses on stylish women.

My artwork has been exhibited in galleries across the state, including IAO Gallery, TAC Gallery, Living Arts of Tulsa, and The Tulsa Performing Arts Center. I have also participated in group shows such as IAO 25, The Mayfest Invitational, The Oklahoma Painting and Drawing Biennial, Momentum, and over 40 others. You can sometimes buy my artwork at Dwelling Spaces in Tulsa.

I am also one-half of the celebrated design duo Louis & Cluck. Louis & Cluck is best known for a clothing and accessories line featuring original slogans celebrating Oklahoma, such as I Heart Tulsa, Don't Hate the 918, 405 Fo Sho, Viva Tulsa, I'm So OK, I Speak Okie, and I'm Down with T-Town.

I won the Mayor's Tulsey Award for Best Young Entrepreneur in 2008. Urban Tulsa Weekly named me "Best Self Promoter of 2008." Urban Tulsa named Louis & Cluck among Tulsa's "Hot 100" in 2006 and 2007. Just some of the places you have seen Louis & Cluck clothing are VH-1, NBC, Ben Folds' latest DVD, People Magazine, and The Los Angeles Times.

You can buy Louis & Cluck clothing at Dwelling Spaces, Under the Mooch, X&Y, Jan Markey Gifts, Blue Seven, and Oklahoma's Red Dirt Emporium. You can also buy online at http://www.dwellingspaces.net.

Before I started the clothing line, I was an art teacher at Tulsa Community College, Gilcrease Museum and Youth Services of Tulsa. I obtained my Bachelor of Fine Art degree at the University of Tulsa in 2005.

I love being on stage, whether it is karaoke, acting, emceeing, or dancing. I have a small cameo in the independent film The Rock and Roll Dreams of Duncan Christopher, where I play Steve-O-Matic, a karaoke superstar. The film will likely be released sometime in 2009.

I have over 60 neckties and I enjoy old school soul music.
