About Me

Profile Type: Individual
Number of Employees: 1
I am a 31 year old Visual Communicator with a passion for illustrating, designing, and creating. I have been professionally working in the art industry for 10 years. I have spent time in Italy learning skills and techniques of age old masters. I have lived in Australia where I increased my talents by working with an enormous mix of cultural backgrounds, drawing on western, eastern, and aboriginal influences. I currently Live in the United States where I love working with clients who like me just want to fulfill their dreams, and do what they love most.

I have worked for small businesses, large corporate entities, and as a freelance artist. I have discovered that I am best able to create stunning works of art when I work as a freelance artist. I want to work with you to create and complete projects that result in something truly magnificent, and allow us to both walk away knowing we both contributed to making something we are proud of.

Payment Terms

Elance Escrow is my preferred payment method. I currently also accept other alternatives. I am comfortable accepting staged payments for projects $1000 and above.

Detailed Service Description

I have excellent written and verbal communication skills and a belief in providing personalized and courteous service that is beneficial to both myself and my clients.

I am committed to answering all queries and concerns within the shortest possible time frame (given time zone). I would be happy to arrange suitable times for telephone contact.

I take pride in every project I undertake. Projects that have questionable standards (malicious, degrading, negative, etc) are not be something I want to be associated with.
