Experience Summary
I have over 35 years experience, as a fine artist, commercial illustrator in Los Angeles, CA and Portland, OR, for books, magazines, music videos, films, commercials and TV shows, as a storyboard, concept, advertising and sketch artist. Although self-taught in the arts, I have advanced drawing skills that have enabled me to exhibit my work in major cities in the US and Europe and help numerous clients realize their visions with unique design and originality. I am highly proficient with pencil. pen and ink, and colored pencils, my specialty.
Teaching Style
I like to work one-on-one with talented individuals to provide basic drawing skills and knowledge in use of various materials and mediums. I also will work with groups, although prefer to limit this to no more than five individuals. Tutoring will be fun, creative and emphasizing expression as the essence of all art forms.
Other Comments
I have won major awards at International film festivals in New York and Chicago as well as a Cine Golden Eagle Award for my stop-motion animated paintings. Every painting, design or piece of art work I do, starts out as a drawing.
