As a career artist and Jewelry Designer, Interior Designer, Graphic Artist, Photographer and Videographer, I offer multiple expressions of creativity to my clients. My mother handed me brush, canvas and oils when I was extremely young. As an artist and Interior Designer herself, she guided me gently through learning from her. I am naturally attracted to applied arts and creating.
PHOTOGRAPHY & VIDEO
My entire educational life including art and various art classes. As a Junior in high school I was granted a scholarship from the Atlanta College of Art which was then housed at the High Museum in Atlanta. The high school provided a darkroom and for an entire semester I honed photography skills. Sewing costumes for local Atlanta theatre as well as the Northside School of Performing Arts, I paid my way though receiving a degree at the American College of Applied Arts, now called the America Intercontinental University. It was the only arts school at the time that offered a credited degree. Later when the digital age came into being I practiced photography for corporate and personal clients. Videography was a natural outcropping of photography. When the digital age started I learned how to program and also how to edit video.
My portfolio is vast with photography and video projects as an In-house Creative Specialists for InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) working for them creating many special projects including projects for Hotel Indigo, InterContinental Hotel, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Crown Plaza as well as Gwen Hughes, and many more of my web programming and marketing clients. If you are interested in seeing any of these projects, please let me know.
