"Art has always been my passion and I have honed my skills ever since childhood. I have a Bachelor's degree in Fine Art, specializing in Painting from the University of Florida. I have been part of local exhibitions in Gainesville. My work has been displayed at 4most Gallery, Gainesville Fine Arts Association, and Reitz Union. I worked for a year teaching painting classes locally to both adults and children. I have been told by students that I explain things in a way they can understand and have made the process fun and exciting.

I worked for a year under a company contracted by Disney and Universal creating scenic art for theme parks. I took part in the creative process behind Tiana's Bayou Adventure and Universal’s in progress new park. I have insight on their styles and workflow for those interested.

I have strong skills in traditional painting. I am trained in acrylic, oil, and watercolor. I teach drawing in both pencil and ink. I have knowledge of digital art in procreate and photoshop. I have a strong understanding of color theory, perspective, figurative art, texture, and composition. One of my greatest strengths is creative ideation and I can help students overcome creative blocks.

My skills would be valuable to beginners, intermediates, portfolio review and those wishing to develop their own creativity." less...
