Work Experience
Fine Artist - Creative Leader
Freelance2012 – Present
After my undergraduate work in fine art at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, I traveled the world, gaining inspiration and insight from great artists in Europe and South America. That was when I decided to return to my formal training and pursue a Master of Fine Art at the Savannah College of Art and Design. As they say, the rest is history, and I have been following my passion for art ever since. Other than my training, I think one thing that gives me an edge is my background in hockey. I know that seems unrelated, but it’s true! That same drive, tenacity, and competitive spirit that made me the star goaltender and team captain inspire me to push myself creatively to make larger-than-life compositions that stand out from the crowd. Select highlights include: > Published in numerous magazines and reviews, including Hi-Fructose Magazine, New American Paintings, The Tulane Review, American Illustration, and MANiFEST International Drawing Annual. > Earned permanent exhibition at the Pabst Blue Ribbon Mansion and Magic Hat Brewery’s Artifactory gallery. > Created customized art pieces for retired NHL players, capturing the personal identities and legacies of stars from my favorite sport. > Exhibited in a number of galleries across the world including, Galerie Hervé Lancelin - Luxembourg City, Satellite Contemporary - Las Vegas, Mark Miller Gallery - New York and Copro Gallery -Santa Monica.
