Greetings!  Stay awhile and listen.

​

I have been creating longer than I can remember and thorugh all the trial and many, many errors I have ended up exactly where I want to be, still creating and sharing my vision with students and clients.  

​

I have had the privilege of receiving my formal training in the arts from Arizona State University (BFA - Drawing) and the Academy of Art University (MA - Illustration).  I have worked for various companies and clients as an creative director, illustrator, and graphic designer.  Currently, I am Assistant Professor of 2-D and Digital Art/Program Director for Art & Design Career Technical Education at Central Oregon Community College. I have also taught illustration, graphic design, and various traditional art courses at Yavapai College and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, respectively.

​

The artwork that my students produce with the fundamentals, 

principles, and techniques I have taught them are my greatest success as an artist. I am beyond proud to be an educator in the arts and hope to do so for many years to come.
