I welcome the opportunity to help you get it done.
about
I was a kid who loved to read, write, draw and make life-sized apartments out of cardboard boxes. Sadly, creative adults are expected to specialize, and that just hasn’t worked for me.
While my creative eclecticism comes naturally, I got my professional versatility the hard way.
I started my unintentionally amphibious career in the 90s, day-jobbing as a copy editor/proofreader and making paintings after hours. I completed an MFA in painting and drawing, but there were still so many reasons why I couldn’t do One Thing. My grad-school classmates came to me with garbled artist statements and cash, and I helped them put their commas in the right places. Now they are tenured professors with 20-year careers. Meanwhile I’ve worked as an arts administrator, event coordinator, adjunct professor of studio art, and developer/director of a rural community-media project. I’ve also handled communications for several tiny nonprofit organizations, so I can absolutely write a grant and design a poster in the same day.
I’m a native of Austin, Texas living in southwest Colorado. When I’m not finessing someone else’s words or graphics, I like attending dance parties and drawing on real paper.
