Introduction: I am a born and bred southern Californian surfer, artist and social entrepreneur. I am fully trained in fine arts and studio arts. I'm a self-taught graphic designer and digital fine artist. I practice and teach drawing, painting, traditional print making, fine art printing and publishing. I also provide art marketing nad business development services. I have 11 years of experience as a professional artist, design consultant and artist and gifts and luxury item business development performer at the international level.
I have also collaborated on, produced, supervised and directed over three hundred films, theatres, special events and exhibitions or installation projects. I am an avid woodworker, set carpenter, tinkerer / prop maker, and an accomplished art director, property master, producer and installation project manager. I have also worked as a design consultant in art framing; art services; and home, garden and store design, planning or remodeling projects.
Examples of my award-winning drawings, fine art prints, fractal and digital art and custom surf board designs can be seen in the photo albums on my FB page. I have twelve years of experience in designing and delivering art instruction programs for individuals and groups of all ages and sizes. I am also a surfing, bodysurfing, body boarding and SUP instructor.
I am now designing uniquely artistic and customized hydroponic, aquaponic and organic gardening systems. I install and provide full-service maintenance solutions for interested clients. I speak to children and community leaders about artistic ecological ideas, sustainability and conservation-related issues and urban gardening concepts and solutions.
I have provided individual and group instruction for people of all ages and covering a very wide range of fine art and digital fine art topics, methods, processes, and I utilize all kinds of materials, media, objects and/or equipment. This may seem like a lot, but this is just simply how I live and breathe.
Namaste!
