Visual Imagination

The great thing about art is that it's exploratory. There are times where I work on illustrations that transform words into images. Or I create classroom signage whimsically depicting the teacher to whom it belongs. Sometimes I'm called upon to put my art on shoes. And on many occasions, I become that traditional artist commissioned for portraiture. There isn't just one way to express an idea and I try not to limit how I create. While I can work with my clients in getting just the right look, my portfolio can be organized into two categories:

• "KidLit" - simple and more cartoonish to be more whimsical and playful.

• "Realistic" - more traditional and realistic in its creation, often stylized with linework, texture and a painterly touch.
