ARTIST STATEMENT
Hello:
I am a visionary, resourceful Senior Creative with specialty expertise in corporate and governmental settings and proven success in innovating graphic design, illustration, photography, and production solutions on time and under budget. Respected leader of diverse, cross-functional teams and highly regarded as a key resource, critical thinker, and out-of-the-box problem solver by senior executives. I am a polymath: painter, illustrator, musician, photography, writer, etc. with advanced Adobe Suites acumen in CS3 through CC and the Production Suites... and cross platform expertise. (Window and Macintosh)
On an individual level, I believe “openness to experience” as the single most important trait of exceptionally creative people. To have a high tolerance for uncertainty, which is as important an asset in creativity as openness to experience. To not know what lies ahead, gives us the fire to continue to create. Last but not least is cognitive flexibility, which is the ability to see the world of design and Illustration with new eyes. To view obstacles as opportunities! To transform random events, even mistakes, into the chance to veer in an entirely new and unexpected direction. To keep my mind and eyes open for new design and illustration experiences.
