    Being a graphics tech for a small but popular Art Gallery makes for unique challenges to conquer and inspiring art to manage and make available for the public. One project was to model a 3D mock-up of a large mosaic ring to be used in the creation of a artistic bike rack for downtown Hollywood, FL. The mock-up was made for the concrete molders to have specs to work from.

    After I graduated with 2 Dean's List honors from the community college in MA I decided I wanted something bigger that could give me a real challenge graphically. Thats when I decided to attend the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale's Game Art and Design program to receive my Bachelor's degree. Here is where I found that I enjoy making environments and applying my texturing skills to find an aesthetic medium.
