About

I am primarily a fine artist (graphite, charcoal and oil). I am also skilled in screenprinting & digital photography. My graphic design/art expertise includes Adobe CS 4, 5 and 6 (Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign primarily).

I have designed logos (including two for non-profits), flyers and business cards for patrons using Adobe CS.

I am looking for employment within graphic art (illustration, logo design, branding, media design, etc.), digital photography and/or illustration. I am willing to relocate and can discuss the terms.
