While attending The School of the Art Institute of Chicago I experimented with many different types of media including painting, sculpture, photography, architectural drawing, scientific illustration and animation.

I developed a preference for color pencil and pastel, however I have found that my most successful work combines the the traditional tools with the computer-based ones such as Illustrator and Photoshop.

I have created illustrations for:

• Children's educational books
• Corporate sales and training tools
• Museum interactive exhibits
• Greeting cards and print materials
• Web sites

I have been fascinated with the art of animation since highschool where I created my first animated film in 16mm. My animation experience includes working in:

• Flash MX
• Fireworks MX
• 3D Studio Max
