About me
My passion is in painting-landscape painting in particular! I work with mainly with acrylics incorporating pastes and gels, and add I frequently add materials like tissue paper to add interest and texture. I experiment with different materials depending on the subject. I have exhibited a number of works and have had one painting published in Acrylic Works 4: Captivating Color.
I am also a Graphic Designer that has worked in print and digital work, so I have the skillset to design and prepare files for print and web. I am very versed with image editing in Photoshop and enjoy it. I also enjoy illustration, branding and typesetting. In my most recent position, I gained experience with creating designs for websites as mock-ups, creating the assets for the actual website and some experience with putting them to use in Word Press. I also created graphics for the restaurant industry for use in social media such as in Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Currently I am pursuing freelance work in both fine art works and graphic design.
