Like many children, my first experience with art was through a box of crayons, decorating every wall at home. Naturally, my parents had a mix of reactions to my color daubing, and I never (fortunately) stopped prodding about to earn their praise.

 

As life progressed, I matured and my artistic curiosity matured as well. Animation is what made the idea of drawing and telling stories happen for me, and I had officially steeped myself in art. Eventually, I accepted the responsibility of developing that interest into a career path.

 

My education in Fine Art provided a wealth of value beyond a wealth of technique and, more importantly, a foundation in creativity, collaboration, and life lessons that are valuable. Following that experience, I entered a specialization program that provided Art Direction in Advertising, a specialized field that seamlessly brought together my imaginative side and visual communications.

 

That experience provided a solid artistic foundation for me, and, hopefully, provided a different outlook on many topics, including myself in every project I creep into. I feel very fortunate to earn a living doing what I aspire to do and be amongst people and with large amounts of art in practice and experience; design, painting, literature, music, and film.
