About me

I started drawing at an early age, and have been turning sketches into logos, illustrations, and murals for clients since the 1990s. I studied graphic design and illustration at Lane Community College and the University of Oregon. I’m skilled in collaborating with clients, listening and making their ideas reality. I studied graphic design and illustration at Lane Community College and the University of Oregon, with an ongoing career as a freelance artist to the present. In 1997, I designed and painted a 110 foot wide mural of famous authors with scenes and quotes from their work, on the side of a bookstore on Hawthorne Boulevard in Portland, Oregon. In 2001, I participated in the Guns in the Hands of Artists Show, at the Interstate Firehouse Cultural Center in Portland, curated by artist Brian Borrello. I moved back to New Orleans in 2003, and began to display and sell my work at the Arts Market of New Orleans, and also worked as a designer for local film productions. In 2014, I started participating in the Community Visions Unlimited, a nonprofit project creating public art in streets and neighborhoods. I designed limited edition commemorative posters for the first 2005 Mid-City Bayou Boogaloo Festival, the 2016 Satchmo SummerFest, and the 1719-2019 Algiers Tricentennial. Since 2016, I’ve been a contributing scenic artist for the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage festival. In 2018, became a member of the RHINO Contemporary Crafts Gallery, and the LA Crafts Guild. I participate in the New Orleans Art Association National Show, and in 2023 was given the Merit Award. My paintings are on display at several locations in the New Orleans area.
