I am a multi-medium artist with 21 years of experience creating content for web and print, painting murals, producing creative events, and supporting consulting workshops and live business scribing. I also work in storyboarding, animatics, layout and lettering, and live painting for audiences. I enjoy translating complex ideas into clear visual narratives—whether through comic-style storytelling, motion/animation management, or event/space design—and I bring strong collaboration, editing, and team coordination skills to every project.

    Murphy USA: Digital Transformation

    I was contracted to create digital whiteboard content for Murphy USA’s Digital Transformation video. I reviewed the script and provided thumbnail sketches for each concept, along with a visual narrative detailing how each idea would be presented. I then reviewed the thumbnails with the client to ensure that each concept aligned with the script and overall vision. With the client’s approval, I produced a collection of graphics and provided their video production team with both the finished still images and video recordings documenting the creation of each illustration. This allowed them to incorporate the visuals appropriately into the final cut of the project.

    Digital, Pencil, Ink and Painted Superhero Comic Book Cover/Portrait

    A husband commissioned me to create a pencil, ink and painted superhero themed portrait of his wife as a birthday gift. The image was to also include her dog and the Puerto Rican female hero, Borinqueña. I began the project by finding its composition and overall look digitally using Procreate. I then reproduced the digital image with pencil, ink and paint to create a more traditional looking comic book cover. When the project was completed both the husband and the wife were incredibly delighted with the results. Enjoy.

    Digital Family Portrait

    A client commissioned me to create a superhero themed digital portrait of her boss’ family as a gift to say thank you for all the great work they had done together. I researched and compiled various images to create this collective of great smiling faces of the family as they unite and share their strengths to take on whatever life brings to them.
