Visual Art – Chicago

As a visual artist, my main area of focus has almost always been small and/or large scale hand made collages amongst a variety of other media I also work with from time to time. Outside of collage and mixed media, I also dabble in creative direction via photo shoots in which I style and oversee the entire process start to finish. I would not consider myself a professional photographer, however, I have done some amateur photography and am continuing to refine my skills in this area. My main goal is to work as a creative/art director within a variety of fields while focusing mainly in the fashion and fine art worlds. I have always enjoyed the leadership role that creative directors play behind the scenes coordinating and bringing everything together, whether it be for a large scale event or an editorial spread. Creating in general has always been both a hobby and form of release for me for as long as I can remember. It is what I have always excelled at and wanted to pursue professionally. Nothing else aside from traveling abroad has given me more satisfaction and sense of purpose in life the way creating does.
