Artist Statement
Visual art is communication. Translating abstract concepts into powerful and effective visual images is what I do best and enjoy the most. In order to meet the needs of my clients, I infuse my graphics work with the necessary elements of clarity, balance, energy, harmony and dynamic movement.
Working with a client is all about communication as well, and to support the requirements of the project at hand, I listen to and make sure that I understand completely and thoroughly my client's point of view. Clarity in concept, coupled with skill and technique results in a successful outcome.
When you are satisfied, I am satisfied.
Whether you are looking for a logo, or an illustration, an ad, photograph, postcard, or other collateral material, I can give it to you in the style that you want and the format that you require: AI, PDS, JPEG, TIFF, EPS, PDF, PNG, hard copy or digital

 "Family Crest :. This was a challenging illustration, since it had to satisfy numerous members of the family that commissioned the illustration. I used Adobe Illustrator to build and color all the elements except for the face, hands and feet. For these I used Photoshop to develop the subtle shading necessary. There were 68 layers in the completed illustration.")
 "Atari Road Warrior Arcade Game Characters :. I used Adobe Photoshop to design and execute these arcade game characters. Unlike other instances where the character are drawn, scanned and then colorized, these figures were created and developed completely on screen.")
 "Walkabout at SkyPark :. I created this digital illustration by developing a series of custom brushes in Adobe Illustrator. These brushes laid down a series of dots when assigned to a stroke. The color and size of the dots are controlled by the stroke size and swatch color settings. I created this image completely in illustrator using multiple layers and transparency controls. This particular image won Best in Show in a California statewide exhibition call")
 "Frog Illustration :. I sketched a frog outline. Traced it in Illustrator. Developed a series of unique pen brushes to create the thick and thin lines, and then assigned an appropriate weight of brush to each stroke, resulting in the very elegant line illustration.")
 "Food Combining Chart :. This chart was constructed completely in Adobe Illustrator, including the small food illustrations. It was commissioned by a holistic health center, for a patient training document.
I wanted to create a simple, easy to understand chart, but to get away from the usual square boxes and arrows, so I used the circle format because it suggested the holistic nature of combining the proper foods, as well as the sun's rays (a part of the company logo), and finally, a dinner plate.")
