I
am a Detroit based fine artist, graphic and website designer.
I combine my background as a fine art painter with electronic
media to create both cutting edge and traditional image
and design concepts.
My
hardcopy designs are published weekly in Crain's Detroit
Business, AutoWeek, Automotive News, The Detroit
Sunday Journal and Solidarity magazine. During
the last ten years I have designed & art directed editorial
sections, magazine covers, classified and advertising pages.
My hardcopy and virtual designs employ traditional artist materials as
well as Adobe Creative Suite, Quark, Freehand, Micosoft Office, Dreamweaver,
Fireworks and FrontPage.
I
have developed the curriculm to teach computer training
classes to newsletter editors. I have taught design classes
for Wayne State University, DiamlerChrysler NTC, and the
United Auto Workers Union. |
