Believe that there is a FOCUS in life. Realize that creating something of beauty is an art. It applies to everything, from a sheet of paper to one's perspective on life. Art is bringing CHARACTER to something that has never breathed, creativity to something that has never had thought, and enlightenment to life. Realize that the world in itself is a GALLERY. Everything is art, yet it's not always seen. Every artist knows being able to see it is a gift, and strive to help others find their sight. It's my goal to show people how to CONNECT with their creativity and imagination to see it for themselves.

[CHARACTER]

I am an aspiring artist of many mediums. Dedicated to my life of creativity, imagination, as well as innovation, I welcome any design challenge. I aim to one day be an artist who inspires others to be artists.

I'm currently attending the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology taking the New Media Production and Design Diploma Program. I graduate April of this year, 2007.

Through my studies as a student and an individual, I have learned many things. Artistically I am knowledgeable in design and color theory, character design, and 2D illustration with many traditional mediums. Technologically, I have developed skills in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Adobe AfterEffects, XHTML, CSS, PHP, Macromedia Flash 8, Macromedia Dreamweaver 8, and Autodesk 3D Studio Max. I am also familiar with Garage Band, Reason, and Motion.

This portfolio is a demonstration of a variety of my more recent works. They have been created both within my studies as well as independently.
