About

I am a photographic artist with experience working in a variety of mediums. My work is varied, as I am always exploring new art forms. I have worked in many graphic arts including retouching, photography, and graphic design. My expertise is in digital imaging and I have also taught studio arts. I thrive in a team environment and grow the most when I'm in a position that's both operational and creative, mixing my engineering brain with my artist side!
