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.
