I have known from the first time I picked up a crayon that I wanted to be an artist. In 1992, I received Bachelor of Arts with concentrations in Graphic Design, and Drawing and Painting from LaGrange College in LaGrange, Georgia. I then attended the Illustration program at Portfolio Center in Atlanta, Georgia, graduating in 1994. For the past 10+ years I have tremendously enjoyed being able to pursue my love for art professionally. I work/play from my home studio near Atlanta, GA. I have over 14 years computer graphics experience and am fluent in all of the Abobe Creative Suite, Painter 9, Poser 6, and the latest hardware, all of which is in my studio. By combining various situations and objects into bold and interesting angles I am able to convey clear ideas to the viewer in a realistic manner. Most of my early work is oils, but now I can achieve a similar look much faster and easily edited in the computer using my own special techniques.
