*********@*****.***
A graduate from Pennsylvania College of Art & Design with a BFA in Communication Arts / Illustration. 2007
After graduation I worked for an advertising agency creating logos, advertisements and Illustrations for publications and various businesses. Since I moved to the Tampa Bay area, I have been active in the arts creating murals in various establishments and live painting. Working with design, through color and highlights, I enhance and give a view of a world that can be abstract as well as picturesque. I enjoy creating imaginary worlds with a twist of adventure. Drawing and painting has always been my passion. Freelancing as an Artist has opened me to a world of adventure, creativity and many lighthearted people. Freelance Welder & Artist St Petersburg, Fl
