Education/Experience:
Originally from California, I have lived in the Four Corners region of
the desert southwest since 1994. I have been an illustrator and graphic
designer for more than 25 years. While obtaining a degree in graphic
design, I also studied studio art, including painting, drawing,
printmaking, filmmaking, and sculpture. Part of my education included a
stint at the San Francisco Art Institute, where I was awarded a
scholarship to attend, as well as illustration courses at the San
Francisco Academy of Art. Each school had a distinctive approach to
education, the S.F.A.I. emphasizing "fine art", the Academy "commercial
art". Both approaches proved valuable, and helped broaden my
perspectives into the art world.
Although much of my work in recent
years has been for the National Parks and Monuments and the outdoor
adventure/eco-tourism industry, I have completed projects for a variety
of clients with varied needs. These include book &
magazine publishers, educational institutions, technology companies,
the wine industry, arts organizations, non-profits, as well as other
design firms and advertising agencies.
