Wood Diary
The Wood Diary project is a great example of how technology has changed
filmmaking and illustrates what a single individual can accomplish with a desktop
computer, digital camera, vision and a great story. I conceived Wood Diary as a
total creative exploration. It is inspired by true events, and tells of an outsider
artist and how he lived his final years. Wood Diary became a quest to find the
truth in which, interviews, paintings, photographs, sculpture, music and artistic
collaborations were spawned.

level. Students were required to create a Website that featured a
noteable comptempory artist or designer. Many times my assignments
require subject matter that is directly related to student development

a non-related subject, I attempt to converge production, theory and
content for a more compelling educational experience.
