Art, Design
& Sound


About

This is my online art, design and sound gallery. I am inspired by industrial textures, pollution, corrosion, buildings, nature, past surgeries and many other topics.


Graphic Design

I design cassette and CD artwork, logos, flyers, button artwork, business cards, cartoon characters and wedding stationery. Professionally, I have been designing hardware store advertisements, brochures, trade show materials and fliers for 11 years. I am proficient in Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver and Adobe Acrobat. I also enjoy making websites, and pushing my skills and abilities by attempting new layout formats and new approaches to design and typography.


Painting

I'm a self-taught artist and I first began creating art in grade school. I daydreamed and drew pictures in class, rather than paying attention to the teacher. I found that I could both absorb lessons and draw at the same time, as drawing became a meditation. Later on, I became interested in painting as a stress coping method in my early 20's. Since then, I have found painting to be less of a coping method and consequently, more enjoyable.
