EDUCATION
The Art Institutes International, Minneapolis , MN December 2004
Bachelor of Science Degree in Media Arts & Animation
My artistic style is influenced greatly by the digital art community where I strive to achieve a distinguished fantasy
art style. My primary focus is in illustration and storytelling. I love color and the way it captures mood and emotion.
I equally love characters that depict emotion in an illustration. I am captivated by
bigger than life stories but prefer
simplified plots. Also, I am very critical of good storytelling and believe that everything is made to
serve the
characters or actors.
