Graphic Design/ Illustration, Photography, and Fine Art If you have a vision you need help in realizing, or would like to have a part of ours, we are here for your assistance.

Art gives a voice that resonates across time and space. True power is exposed, souls vulnerable; the underestimated catalyst for change... for hope.

Volunteer Experience

volunteer photographer/graphic illustrator at Friends of the Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery July 2015 - Present

In support of this tremendous asset, a group of citizens has organized the Friends of the Central Texas Veterans Cemetery to support projects at the cemetery beginning with laying a holiday wreath at each grave each year. Wreaths are laid on the Saturday after Thanksgiving each year. In July 2015, I began my involvement through the assistance for the t-shirt design for the year's fundraiser. Further support includes being an official photographer to cover the organization's events. Adult Volunteer at Girl Scouts of the USA
