What I'm looking for

I seek roles that combine studio practice with precision production, restoration, design or teaching in collaborative, quality-driven environments with opportunities for exhibitions and professional growth.

I am an accomplished visual artist with a Master of Arts in Fine Arts and a long track record of international exhibitions, awards, and gallery representation. My practice spans painting, restoration, sculpture, and illustration, and I regularly manage my own website and submissions.

In industry roles I have led quality and precision-focused production as a Quality Supervisor, optimizing assembly workflows, implementing refined processes, and applying high-precision techniques that also inform my artwork reproductions. I have developed publishing materials, book covers, branding, and advertising campaigns as an illustrator and graphic designer.

I have teaching experience developing curricula, mentoring students, and guiding portfolios for college applicants, and I serve in governance as a board director for a contemporary gallery. I bring meticulous technical skill, creative vision, and proven project coordination to collaborative and solo roles.
