One of my most successful pieces, "PPK" was created for my final collection at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art at Oxford in 1994. That same year it showed at London's The Cut gallery. In 1995 it traveled to the Foothills Art Center in Golden, Colorado, the Berkeley Art Center, and the Lubbock Fine Arts Center. In 1996 it was selected by Lisa Phillips, curator at the Whitney museum for Texas Fine Arts Association's New American Talent: the Twelfth Exhibition which toured throughout Texas until 1998. Later that same year it was shown in Encase: To Wrap Up in Something Solid at Robert McClain & Co. in Houston. It is now in a private collection.
