Resident artist, founder and principal of contemporary fine art gallery. DHV ARTWORKS is a preeminent contemporary fine art gallery, dedicated to elevating the significance of art in the everyday lives of all individuals. Through our curated exhibitions and events, we aim to foster a deeper appreciation for artistic expression, while providing a platform for HUG emerging artists and established artists sharing our vision, to showcase their work. Our vision is to inspire and engage a diverse audience, introduce the power of art to new and younger audiences, and cultivate a lasting legacy that celebrates the transformative power of art.

Our project has been ongoing since 2002 when Friends of the Trinity Strand Trail was first formed. We are now at Phase 3 of our initial master plan. With funding, our organization will continue to design and construct the trail along the Trinity River and provide Dallas with another beautiful and recreational source to hike, bike and walk throughout Dallas. The core components of our project includes the design of Phase 3, construction of Phase 2 and 3, and the environmental portion of our project. Design of the trail will involve local architects and artists working together on the beautification and physical design of the trail along the Trinity River Channel as well as bridges and other necessary components that make the trail accessible to all. Simultaneously, environmental scientists and volunteers will be working alongside to restore the natural greenspace of the Old Meanders and bring life of all kinds back to this area of Dallas. Our proposed program will run for approximately 24 months and include construction for Phase 2 of the trail, and designing and planning for Phase 3. Upon completion, the Trinity Strand Trail will connect over 73 miles of trail in the Dallas area including: the Southwestern Medical District, Dallas Market Center, Downtown and Uptown Dallas, Stemmons Corridor businesses, and the Dallas Design District. Trinity Strand Trail will also play an integral role in connecting various trails, neighborhoods and communities in Dallas.
