My
path to other worlds was laid when, at 9 years
old, I attended a slide presentation by Frank Kelly Freas
at the public library.
I saw my future in the liquid eyes of his aliens
and I have never looked back. I was raised in a spooky old
Victorian house
by two very creative librarians who fed my imagination-perhaps
too much. I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts
degree with honors from Old Dominion University. In addition
to my art training,
I also learned to be goal-oriented, to respect
deadlines and learned how to get the most out of art direction
and criticism.
I have had the pleasure of working on projects
including book illustrations, CD covers, logos, PR images,
T-shirt designs,
theatrical and musical stage designs and privately
commissioned portraits. My mediums are acrylics, oils, watercolor,
watercolor
pencil and digital. I welcome illustration projects
from both national and international clients. Visit my website
