About me:

I am a born creative, with an inherent attraction to visual imagination. I possess a never-ending passion for all forms of art.

After earning a bachelor's degree in Communication Design from the University of North Texas, I made a living as a designer and illustrator for such studios and agencies as, Lindsey Design Group, Grey Worldwide and Blanchard Schaefer Advertising – earning a number of Addy and Graphic Design:USA awards.

After becoming a father, I realized that my path in life was going to change. It was after 13 years of graphic design that I decided to become an elementary school art teacher. I find purpose in teaching: helping children not only learn about art - but to help them discover their inner talents and build their self-worth to become confident, responsible and compassionate adults.

As passionate an illustrator as I am a teacher, I am a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and also teach illustration at the University of Texas in Arlington.

My preferred medium is watercolor and pencils. Yet, my explorations in design have led me to include Adobe Photoshop and Corel Painter as well.

My work has appeared in the “Journal of Prothetics and Orthodics” and “Odyssey” (Cobblestone Publishing).
