About

Greetings,

Since a child I was drawn to (pun intended) the creative world, art, illustration and design have always been my passion, best skill set, and an important constant in my life. Beginning in the college/ young adulthood time, I added digital art and design skills to my abilities: 3D Animation, Photoshop and photo editing, motion graphics, graphic design (mainly digital illustration and layout work), and and digital illustration. I can adapt to any style of art needed for a project, and am ever evolving as an artist and adding to my skills.
