I am a painter. I became a freelancer so that I could balance painting with graphic design.
I paint what I want, with no outside influences telling me what to do. This freedom with paint allows me to devote my design work to fulfulling a client's needs first. My ego in design is satisfied by doing the best possible creative work for someone else.
I've even written a book on creativity... For all three books shown here, I am the author, designer, producer, and publisher... Everything but the printer.
My favorite thing to write is lyric poetry. Some of my poetry has been published over the years, but I don't spend much time submitting to journals. I enjoy doing live poetry readings, which have been temporarily suspended due to the pandemic. And I am now beginning to create poetry videos. See the Media page for more.
