Statement:
I am always looking for opportunities to challenge myself artistically and as a person, and welcome any kind of work in an artistic field. I love people and work equally well in a group or by myself. I am very good at illustration and visualizing ideas. If someone can think of it, I can draw it.

Over the years, I have learned to tailor my work to specific media and audiences. I strive to please my audience and myself in every piece I do.
