I am a multi-medium artist.
I grew up in the Carnegie Museum Pre-College arts program and received a scholarship to attend the CMU Pre-College Arts Program and attended for 4 years.
I attended the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and learned computer graphics to earn a living, and received my Associates degree in 98 with a 4.0 gpa.
Never fitting into a niche, I have been blessed ~or cursed~ with the ability to make an artistic statement with any medium.
In this world of specialization, I hope to find a home as an all around illustrator...
