BIO:I am an artist. I knew this since the first time I was able to remember visually pouring thoughts onto a physical surface. This is a natural skill that I have loved and embraced all my life. I believe that is the reason why I gravitated towards the digital realm. To be able to blend traditional tools with pixels just seemed like the next step in my evolution. This industry has given me the means to grow as an artist and leader from all the challenges I have faced through out the years. I know this experience will continue to grow and strengthen with the right company. SKILLS: LEVEL: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
