Education
Columbia College Chicago 2005-2009
B.F.A. in Illustration

Big Shoulders Digital Video Production 2009
I worked as an intern for this company. I worked in the graphics lab and helped with the  Sprite Step-Off maps project. I worked on a freelance job, arranging pictures for this event.

Emmanuel Christian Reformed Church 2009
This was an independent senior project that was budgeted by the church. I worked on 12 Biblical murals, painting acrylic on brick for the Sunday School Hallway. I also held a workshop for children that wanted to participate, ages 10 years and older.

Frank’s Guitars and Art 2010
I produced a graphic design logo of a melting guitar for a hip retro guitar store in Kankakee, IL. This graphic was done with white line work and one solid color.  Frank’s Guitar’s utilized this logo for T-shirts.

Robert Bell’s Art Studio 2010
I hosted a tour of Robert Bell’s studio during Kankakee’s Fall Art Stroll. I gave tours of the artist’s studio while selling his paintings, as well as my own.

Bad Date Art Show 2012
I painted a painting of acrylic on canvas of a live heart beating, with an arrow striking through the middle of the heart. It was featured at a local pizza restaurant in Cedar Lake, IN for approximately one month.

Young Rembrandt’s Art Program 2012-2013
I worked with children for an After-School program in the development of skills that would help with discipline. They learned that they can draw whatever their mind sees, putting the image in single shapes so their minds could develop a final whole object. It is an excellent program that is internationally known.
