Biography
|
|
For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved to draw. I was the only aspiring artist in my kindergarten class among all of the firemen, police officers, mommies, nurses, and cowboys. I drew on everything that I could get my hands on – including my cousin’s bedroom wall. After my grounding was over, I decided that I should stick to drawing on paper.
During the summer of 2003, I held an internship at CNBC’s headquarters in Fort Lee, NJ. I worked in the Graphics department and got a lot of hands on experience with on-air graphics.
During my education at Carroll College in Waukesha, WI, I took every art class that was offered (with the exception of Ceramics), and even completed independent studies in Digital Imaging, Painting and Life Drawing. My Senior Art Show at Carroll went from April 25 - May 11th, 2004. I graduated May 9th Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Commercial Art and Illustration.
I have since relocated to New York to pursue a career in the Art Industry.
