Welcome

I use this website as a means to share my life as a professional geographer and artist.  My work interprets the landscapes we live in from a humanistic perspective.  Geographers who work in this vein enchant the world with meaning and purpose.  Art-Geography is both an interpretive tool and a means of being in the world.

My work takes place in the studios of the Department of Art at the University of Minnesota.  Prior to seeking an MFA degree, I was assistant professor and founding faculty director of the Experimental Geography Studio at the University of Oklahoma.  I work in various creative media (digital/web, photography, performance, sculpture) to express and advance thought related to economic and cultural geography.

I hold a Ph.D. in Geography from UCLA, where I specialized in cultural and historical geography.
