Reflecting on Artistic Goals
To me, art is about sharing your message. When created carefully, works of art have the ability to impact individuals and groups in profound ways. I find myself at an intersection, desiring both to work carefully to create such works, and to help others achieve their vision. I have a varied history of working with others to create unique works. This, combined with my technical and customer service experience, position me well to teach and create subversive art.
