With 17 years in the creative and commercial art world, I've completed many murals, led school projects, enhancing community spaces as well as product design and original work on canvas. Skilled in acrylic to digital applications, I excel in large scale murals and working well with clients, consistently delivering projects that exceed expectations without workplace accidents. My work not only beautifies but also engages communities.
As an artist, I love learning and adding to foundational knowledge of the arts while gaining hands-on experience through community projects and continuing studies.
