Bio:
FROM CONSULTING TO GRADUATE SCHOOL
For 15 years I’ve worked with professional artists devising marketing campaigns and helping companies launch new products. The truth is, I’ve loved being a marketing consultant, I’ve enjoyed the challenges and rewards of the business world, but I’ve especially enjoyed working with those talented and creative artists.

As my career progressed, I secretly and increasingly imagined a life where I could spend my time creating art that wasn’t subject to unanimous team approval or validated by the number of units moved. I just wanted to create my own art. In the summer of 2007, when the urge to be a full-time artist was too strong, I took the leap and enrolled in the Academy of Art University’s graduate program for fine art.

PERSONAL WORK
My current work is a mix of classic techniques from the graduate program as well as an exploration of my personal style that occurs in my free time. It’s an exciting time and I’ve tried many, many new techniques. I approached this phase of my education knowing that some attempts will be successful and others (many others) will fall short. It’s been quite a switch from consulting, but I’ve loved it. Even the bad days.

My journey is only half way through as I consult and go to school part time, so please feel free to check in and see how my art evolves.
