My career is based in the graphic design industry. I began my career creating medical illustrations while working for a multimedia-advertising agency in New Jersey.  Shortly after witnessing the destruction from the September 11th terrorist attacks I relocated to Colorado.  I have been working as a graphic designer, photographer and illustrator for a variety of clients in Colorado. I enjoy teaching Graphic Design and Photography at Fairview High School in Boulder Colorado and love working with people.

​

As an artist, my goal is to create themes and stories that visually explain information about my clients and myself.  I have spent many years working with images, text, photo manipulation and structures of composition in design. What satisfy’s my creative side most is getting excited about an idea for a new project and then transferring that idea into images.  As an illustrator I am drawn to simple, bold shapes and outlines.  As a photographer I am drawn to imagery that is high contrast and detailed.  I have been experimenting recently with photo editing and manipulation and am drawn to textures and vignettes.

​

I enjoy experimenting with new technology and love that the world of digital art and photography is always evolving.  As an artist and educator I enjoy being able to be a student and to share my knowledge.  I have been trying to analyze connections between the art I create so that I can follow these ideas in to future art making.
