I'm excited to announce, I've landed a job at West Virginia Wesleyan College as a tenure track assistant professor of painting and drawing!  I'll be moving to Buckhannon, WV over the month of July, and will start teaching in the fall.

I'll be teaching drawing and painting, and working to help develop the intermedia program!

"Manifest Destiny II" at WV Mountaineer Short Film Fest

“Manifest Destiny II” has been selected to screen at the 3rd annual West Virginia Mountaineer Short Film Festival!

April 20-21, 2012
Full Schedule Available at mountaineerfilmfest.org

This year's festival had a special section on the "Politics of Division," which was exciting because the Manifest Destiny series definitely fits with that area.
