Old Rose: A Tribute to an Old-Fashioned Hue
This video discusses the historical background of the hue, Old Rose, also referred to as Ashes of Roses. It includes a variety of well-known artists' works, such as Impressionists, that display this unique color. I created this video as part of an assignment for a Color Foundations class that I took at the University of Wyoming as a requirement for my Bachelor of Arts degree in Art that I completed in Spring of 2020.

America in Search of Her Soul
This video is an illustrated essay that I wrote a few years ago, based on John Steinbeck's 1959 quote about the meaning of Christmas. The visual images enhance its profound message: that America is on a pathway of moral decline. The soundtrack's Big Band version of "Christ Was Born on Christmas Day" reflects the atmosphere of that historical period.
