I decided to post images of my last show, A Robotic Nation in leu of my site (murderbird.com) which will be up and running in the next week or two. This show debuted at the Cre8ery Gallery on September 4th 2008 and was well received and spotlighted in local media (Uptown, The Tab, The Manitoban, The Uniter & The Projector as well as a dozen or so smaller papers.) The show consisted of 50 mixed media pieces, all robots in traditional dress to depict different cultures of various nations. 25 of them where Prisma Marker, acrylic and pen on water color paper with it's duplicate in pencil. These pieces were also professionally framed and matted. Currently I am working on my next solo show, Illustrious Pink Elephants which will also be released at the Cre8ery on November 5th 2009. This show is the anticipated release of my signature style and depicts concepts of a political nature. Each piece will be created on canvas using acrylics with the preliminary work conducted first with photographs and then photoshoped. Please see previous posts for more information.

Looks good! Some i like,some i dont. But overall,i do see talent in you:)
I've been in the arts since before I can remember. I have won scholarships to the Winnipeg Art Gallery, but while these courses did offer relevant classes, I do consider myself to be a self trained artist as I do not have any university "education."
I have taught art classes for years, hung works in different galleries and coffee houses, as well as been commissioned to produce works for various businesses in Winnipeg. I work primarily as residential support for adults with mental disabilities and plan and work on exhibitions and contracts on the side.
I am taking a break from my art to travel. As field research, I will be going to different countries of conflict to document various humanitarian and environmental issues which I will later paint for exhibitions.
Currently I am residing in beautiful New Haven, Connecticut volunteering with YWAM Axiom's Mercy and Justice DTS. Over the next 5 months I will be strengthening my relationship with God and then traveling to Pune, India to work in an orphanage with children born from prostitutes. It is my goal over the winter to become closer to Christ and help those in need.
