“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist after growing up.” ~ Pablo Picasso

 

With left brain and right brain simultaneously churning, I bring my whimsical yet sophisticated vision to my adult work. I quickly grasp grownups' needs but retain a sense of wonder for the world of design. Striking this balance is my sizzle. How do I imagine a concept? My conceptual style has been described as innovative and cutting edge with a strong illustrative practical bent.

 

I believe creativity lies in the interpretation of a subject. The subject then becomes me, my impressions and my emotions within the named parameters. My goal is to reach a synergy of ideas and interpretations with my clients.

 

My creative journey began long before I remember. As a child, I would escape into an imaginary world through craft projects, like painting Mrs. Butterworth bottles, collaging my photographs and making all my Chrsitmas presents. SInce then I've explored the aesthetic world of graphic design. I count among my clients Disney, Kraft, Nickelodeon, Lucas Films, NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, McDonalds, Johnson and Johnson, Wal-mart, Target, Kmart, and many others. I love teamwork, reseaching a project to the fullest, brainstorming and even criticism - because it keeps the creative juices flowing. I keep my inner child smiling with my mural painting business, volunteer teaching and home improvement projects. My outdoor explorations, photography, and scenic paintings both set me free and remind of the ultimate inspiration, nature.
