About
I am an extremely driven creative problem-solver; never wanting to be limited to any medium or practice, I am constantly researching and learning new skill sets to bring to my work.
After completing my BFA in 2007 at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I moved to New Mexico in 2008 to attend New Mexico State’s Creative Media Institute and receive a certificate in digital media design. I began working as a freelance artist and designer, contributing to the vision of companies and institutions like: Vanderbilt University, Ford Leadership Foundation, Pizzeria UNO, MAC Concerts,Marcy Medical Center, and AHEC of Southern Oregon. In 2010 I became Art Director at inMotion Educational Technologies Company in Nashville Tennessee, where I produced published content for Law inMotion, Radiation Oncology Services of America, and Ambulatory Services of America.
In 2011 I was awarded a graduate teaching assistantship at Kent State University, where I received my MFA in painting.
I am married to Jennifer Masters and Currently reside in Cleveland Ohio.
