I have been an artist of Arkansas for the last 23 years. Currently I am in business for myself as an artist. My services include: Children's book artist and writer; Freelance art for greeting cards and magazines and other publications; Children's presenter at schools and libraries nationwide: Educators presenter for using art in school curriculums; Art game developer and designer (Pick and Draw 2009); Art teacher at various schools (kids of all ages) weekly. My passion is to invigorate the God-given gift of creativity and imagination in all it's many forms in all people that I meet and work with. The tool I use is visual communication. I am committed in my work to help kids continue to grow creatively and reinvigorate many to return to creating that have told themselves that they "can't do it". In so doing, I have seen that my work is also calling adults to rediscover their ability to communicate visually with satisfying success.
