I've been drawing since I was a child growing up in the French Quarter, and began creating illustrations and logos for clients in the 1980s. I studied graphic design and illustration at Lane Community College and the University of Oregon, with an ongoing freelance career. After moving back to New Orleans in 2003, I displayed and sold my work at the Arts Market of New Orleans, designed posters for festivals like Mid-City Bayou Boogaloo, Satchmo SummerFest, and the Algiers Tricentennial, and became a contributing scenic artist for the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. I also joined RHINO Contemporary Crafts Gallery and the LA Crafts Guild, and my paintings are on display around the city.
