ARCHAEOLOGY
I am an internationally recognized rock art recording expert. I have worked in both paid and volunteer situations as a field artist for archaeological projects involving the recording of rock art sites.

Rock art recording includes accurate scale drawing, mapping and photography. I have worked with The US National Park Service, US National Forest Service, US Bureau of Land Management, The Navajo Nation, Northland Research, Inc. and the Mexican Institute of Archaeology and History (INAH).

From 1992 to 1999 I volunteered as an instructor and Crew Chief for the Arizona Archaeological Society's annual Rock Art Recording Field School.

In 2008 I was part of an international delegation of rock art experts invited to northern China to tour rock art sites and promote the importance of site preservation to local high school and university students.
