BIOGRAPHY I grew up in Chicago in a very artistic family. My father was a professional photographer, my mother sewed and did needlework, and my brother and sisters are all very musically and artistically inclined. I have been continuously striving towards developing my own artistic abilities. In high school, I vented my creativity through participation in several choirs, bands and musical theater. I was a musician, photographer and clay potter. I crafted crochet, wrote poetry and also dabbled in Origami art. Not until I discovered computer graphics did I really feel comfortable in the arts. The computer gives me more freedom of expression than I ever had before, enabling me to know what I want and with the aid of this mechanical wonder allowing me to see my visions become reality. OBJECTIVE Seeking a challenging position, to effectively utilize my skills as a motivated photographer/graphic designer. ACCOMPLISHMENTS I have created hundreds of page layouts and flyers for Realtors' advertisements across the country, meeting deadlines on time. I have also competently proofed and edited print advertisements for a real estate publication. I've written basic web pages for a popular Usenet group and local businesses. I served as a volunteer teacher of 3D art at The Museum for Arts and Sciences in Daytona Beach.
