The new Leonardo Museum of Art and Science in Salt Lake City is opening October 8, 2011, this Saturday! “Visualizing Sound” is an interactive sculpture commission I fabricated with artist/collaborator, Mic Allen. The piece consists of a large sculptural xylophone of aluminum rings. When the rings vibrate, sound waves are picked up by microphones and sent to a software program that projects varying color patterns based on the vibration.
The U.S State Department has launched the new website: “Art in Embassies”Collection. “Writing the Written”, a work I made, was purchased this year by the U.S. Dept. of State, and is hanging in the new American Consulate building in Dubai.

The “Dream Box” I created for the American Cancer Society’s Hope Gala, sold at the fundraiser that took place on September 25th in Salt Lake City. A silent auction of each artist-created “box” contained a “surprise” for the collector/donor. This annual, formal event raises funds for cancer research and support in the Salt Lake City area.
