My wife and I now have our own decorative furniture painting business. We work out of our home and our specialty is reviving old pieces of furniture with fresh coats of paint, decorative and faux finishes, and warm, worn distressed looks. Together we've painted hundreds of pieces for many happy clients, and our pieces have been sold at Thrill of the Hunt and have even won awards at art shows.

Art Department Manager
Custom Screens Ink
Jun 2007 - Apr 2012 (4 years 10 months)
As Art Department manager, I metered workflow to meet customer demands efficiently and by the next day. Successfully predicting production issues days in advance allowed us to minimize down time and accept more production orders. The trust our high-profile customers had in my high quality art work brought in many exclusive orders.

Advanced Graphic Artist/Seperator
Liberty Screenprint
Jul 2006 - Mar 2007 (8 months)
In my first month at Liberty I broke the record for number of jobs completed in one month by over twice the previous record. I took part in Liberty’s world renowned Research and Development and created techniques that simulated natural materials (alligator/snake skin, leather) created faux-embroidery effects (including beading and sequins) and many other techniques never before seen on a printing press.

Graphic Artist/Separator
ArtFX
Feb 2003 - Jul 2006 (3 years 5 months)
ArtFX's art department fed four different printing facilities and I maintained a smooth flow of quick-turn art to all of them. I trained myself to be the only high-end separator in the international company, in addition to creating artwork, branding, and advertising for three in-house resortwear brands and one urban fashion clothing line.
