Experience Summary
Commercial Arts: My commercial art background includes extensive experience in marketing, graphics, the print industry, and online site design and development. I have strengths in concept design with targeted results. I have a pre-production print management background gained from six years working in the pre-press industry and a mid-sized agency background with a wide variety of clients. I have also served as an art director/project manager for two large corporate communications departments.
I’m continually developing new technology skills to meet the demands of the electronic communications environment. Comprehensive background with vendor relations, the bidding process and outsourcing.
Fine Arts: I have been a practicing fine artist for 30 years. I sell to private collectors and do the occasional installation project. Landscape and figure drawings in oil, acrylic, pencil, pen, and water color.

Initially I work with a student to determine their strengths. I then guide them to build on those strong points while adding new elements and challenges in order to keep the learning process enjoyable and constantly evolving towards enhanced skill levels
My Hobbies
