︎From 2006-2016 I was a co-founder and team member of the Austin Texas-based creative collaborative Okay Mountain, which comprised two galleries, a project space, studios, and eventually a collective art practice.  Okay Mountain exhibited multimedia artworks internationally, and was represented by Mark Moore Gallery in Los Angeles.
