BIOGRAPHY
click to view/download my resume
I am very detail-oriented and enjoy anything to do with art & design. My strengths are in graphic design and fine art.
I have worked with my current employer, Frost Valley YMCA, as the Graphic Designer since 2007. I earned an AAS in Graphic Design from SUNY Sullivan, and a BFA in Fine Art from SUNY Oswego, graduating Magna Cum Laude.
Since childhood, I have always been inclined to draw and paint. I have done several commissions of pets and loved ones over the years. I have been exhibiting my fine artwork in shows since 2000, and illustrated a children's book in 2013.
Living in the serene "forever wild" Catskill Mountains of New York is a great inspiration to me. I am always in awe of God's creations, great and small! In my fine artwork I depict things from my life, feelings; the harmony and peace I feel in nature. I invite the viewer to come inside and be a part of my work, to feel the emotion, beauty and flow. Enjoy and be inspired!
