Jesse Freeman’s Summary

Over the past 4 years, I have been on the cutting edge of Flash Web Design and programming. With this in mind, I moved my years of fine art experience over to the virgin territory of Flash Expression and Web Art. Being highly motivated to combine the traditional look and feel of “made art” and the multimedia expression of digital collage, all of my computer work tries to push the envelope of creativity, technology and self-expression.

As a young child I possessed a natural talent for art and expression. I was a painter (oils, acrylics, and water colors), a sculptor (clay and stone), a print maker, etcher, a writer, and a poet. At the age of 15, I was studying under Peter Olson and taught painting at Peter’s private studio in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I later moved to Tallahassee, Florida, and attended Florida State University. After receiving a BA, in Studio Art, I returned to New York and worked for some of the city’s most prestigious companies doing web design. As an independent Flash Consultant, I created interactive works for the MLB, New York Jets, HBO, Fox, Arista Records, BBDO, AKQA, and many more. In 2006 I graduated from the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, with a Masters in Computer Arts.
