I have been a working artist since the pre-computer days in the 1980's. Work experience includes working at newspapers, printers & ad firms until I moved into working full-time as a freelance designer & illustrator. My work includes designing for billboards, murals, clothing, china, rugs, along with art installations and traditional two dimensional prints. My work can be seen throughout New England, New York and Hong Kong. Speciality is logo design for restaurants, food groups and hospitality. As an Illustrator, my large scale murals can be found in Logan Airport, Boston University, Harvard University and Houston University. In 2008, I moved the studio to my retail shop Native - finally combining my love of graphics, symbols, ethnographic imagery & world art.
