1. PROFILE
My passion for the arts began at a young age,
specifically related to movie, video game, and TV show
creation. My art education commenced in high school when I
chose the Art Pathway and was immersed daily in color,
technique, and a range of mediums including drawing,
painting, computer graphic design, and ceramics. I continued
my education at Delaware Technical and Community College.
There I was able to strengthen my skills as an artist in a variety
of fields. After graduation, I transferred to Salisbury University
to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Art. I have used my skills
outside of the classroom to design posters, birthday
invitations, woodwork, signs, and more for my family
members. Now I am ready to share my passion for art with the
world…or, you know…with anyone that will listen to
my “stories”.

ARTIST STATEMENT
My absolute favorite thing in the world is a story. It doesn’t
matter if the form it takes is a picture, a song, a book, a film,
or all of the above. I adore meeting new characters, seeing
new lands, and hearing of new exploits done by the former in
the latter. I try to conjure stories out of art, and see the
creation of stories as a kind of magic. Fine art especially
strikes me as being like alchemy: the process of changing one
thing into another.
I see stories in everything. I use my ever-growing skills as
an artist to try to show the rest of the world what I see, using
pencil, pastels, paints, and pens. I am an alchemist; where
others see a blank canvas, I see the potential for something
more precious than gold. Things may not always come out as
polished as I’d like; but that won’t stop me from trying.

Advertisement/Logo Technician
November 2011 to May 2012
Ad-Art Sign Co. – Route 113 Mariner Cir, Georgetown, DE 19947
While at Ad-Art, I designed and assembled advertisements for clients. A large
majority of these advertisements were laid out in a specialized program before
being transmitted to a “printer” outfitted with a small blade capable of making
precise cuts into rolls of vinyl. From there my job was to carefully remove the
excess vinyl with a knife, lay masking tape over the remains, forming a type of
sticker which I would then apply to the designated surface with a small
squeegee. My finished products included small roadside signs, banners of
varying sizes, car decals and business signs.
