Resume

My objective is to work and facilitate with an organization or individual, in creating art in large or small scale commissioned for matte. As a creator of Art and Design, I believe that all works created or being created, takes on a life of its own. One always must work in harmony with the client and creator. When the project has been established and the work has been done, every one walks away having greater perspective of life.

The joy of working together fulfills all.
