Classically trained in Illustration from Art Center College of Design, I graduated with honors in 1996. I went on to have a fruitful career as an Art Director/Senior designer, working for Image Entertainment, Computer Associates, Disney Interactive, Leap Frog and Univers al Sports Network. I decided to go back to my love of painting in 2016 after being in the corporate world for s o long.
I have exhibited and participated in many events, shows and galleries over the years, such as; Las Lagunas Gallery, Blue Note Gallery, ThinkSpace, Art Center of Morro Bay, Costa Gallery, Newport Beach Art Exhibition and many others. Currently I am collaborating with local organizations promoting fundraising for worthy causes.
I consider myself a visual storyteller. I enjoy creating portraits and conveying the back story of a person or pet.
Rich in texture and color, I experiment with many different mediums.
