“Life Forms” includes concept drawings, collaborative animation proposals, photographs and sculpture in bronze, wood and stone created from 2008-2011. These pieces were created while on an Off Campus Duty Assignment from the University of Arkansas, while an artist-in-residence at the Cargo/Wheeler Studio in Clough, Northern Ireland and while in residence at the 9th International Sculpture Symposium in Changchun, China.

Four of the photographs are of sculpture that are located in Little Rock at the Central Arkansas Library System Miller Plaza, the Vogel Swartz Sculpture Garden in the River Market and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute first and fourth floors.
