I have a Master's Degree in fine art and over 20 years experience in the creative arts with 10 years experience as a graphic designer. I am the lead artist and art director for multiple organizations in the fields of video games and board game publishing. I regularly create concept art and push the limits of creative world building and story telling through visual art and creative writing. I'm also a nut for good design, aesthetic and ergonomics. I am also a body flight wind tunnel coach with several sky diver students and have worked in vertical wind tunnels for 7 years. Before that I was a dj and music producer for about 10 years playing shows amidst working as an artist and designer. I grew up on the mountain snowboarding in Lake Tahoe and was a snowboard instructor for 3 years. Besides all of that I have taught art courses at UO and several community colleges around the nation. I absolutely love creating and love teaching even more! You can expect to learn as much as you can imagine from me and advance your art skills into a talent that can truly change the world around you. I can adapt my teaching methods for all your needs and pacing while learning this challenging skill. This platform allows me to share so much more with students than is possible in a normal classroom setting.
