About
Professional Illustrator/Visual Storyteller
As a seasoned visual storyteller with 20+ years involved with children's publishing, storyboarding and concept art for television animation as well as concept art for the giftware industries, I have gained the experience and knowledge of the technologies needed in today's fast-paced, creative industries. Whether I'm required to work in-house, full-time as an employee or as an independent contractor, I can be flexible and open-minded to quickly learn new skills required by my employers as well as communicate ideas creatively and effectively.
Specialties: Specializing in old-world styles in traditional mediums as well as computer-generated artwork. Familiar with software such as Photoshop, Procreate, Painter, Sketchbook Pro, and Microsoft Word as well as many others.
Most of all my skills(traditionally and digitally) in drawing and expression are my biggest strength. -
