Betrayal Trauma Theory: From Sivers, Schooler, and Freyd (2002): A theory that predicts that the degree to which a negative event represents a betrayal by a trusted needed other will influence the way in which that events is processed and remembered.
TheRain-Chime is an interactive electronic instrument created using an open source microcontroller that creates intensifying sounds numerically paired to the input of the FC-37 Rain sensor as it becomes increasingly or decreasingly saturated.
Click here to watch the demo.The object of this research piece was to experiment with organically composing the growth structures of several molds and bacterias in a petri dish with the intent of creating a visually appealing array of living textures, shapes, and colors that are photographically documented. Funded in 2021 and 2022 by juried grant selection by the University of West Florida's Office of Undegraduate Research department.
The Electronic Windchime was created using an Arduino Uno (an open-source microcontroller made by Arduino), an anemometer, and transducers. The code for this piece was written to pair individual numerical wind speeds with electronic musical MIDI notes.

A series of 3D renders based upon a dream I had concerning the grip the human race has on the planet's natural livehood.
Navigational Murmuration is a 3D modeled depiction of the Crestview, Florida VORTAC navigational station built in the 1960s. The group of birds above the tower, otherwise known as a murmuration, suggest a connection between flight and aerial control signals.
Students and professors of courses Advanced Interactive Electronic Art (ART4633C) and Molecular Ecology and Bioinformatics (PCB4125) at the University of West Florida are collaborating to study the relationship of turbidity with aerobic anoxygenic phototroph populations in local waterways. The goal of this project is to improve upon the current turbidity sensor prototype developed by Professor Asmuth.
My ongoing fascination with the abundance of fungi growing in Northwestern Florida leads me on hunts to create colorful arrangments.
Created for the Orange Beach, AL beach neighborhood, Dockside, while working at Kool Graphics in Pensacola FL.
Completed while working at Kool Graphics in Pensacola FL. Installed at the Pensacola Blue Wahoos stadium.
