I have been an artist all my life...

 

I was raised in a family of artists. My mother attended Iowa State as an Art Major. My sister, along with my brother-in-law, are sucessful graphic designers as well. I have drawn and painted all my life.

 

I studied at the Ringling School of Art as a Graphic Design Major. Later on, I went back to school to earn my A.A. and A.S. in Graphic Design Technology at Santa Fe Community College in Gainesville. I won numerous awards there for my work, including 1st place for Best Design Concepts.

 

I currently work in all sorts of media, including but not limited to: Sculpey, acrylic, pen and ink, paper sculpture, and many more. I have illustrated two children's books "The Girl in the Mirror", and "Slippery Willie's Stupid, Ugly Shoes".

 

I have worked professionally for almost a decade as a layout artist at Valpak/Cox Target Media. Currently, I am a freelance designer.

 

I am always eager to take on new projects and explore new ideas, as well as hone my more familiar talents.
