For the moment, I am an artist in Arizona, and I will be continuing my Fine Arts education at the University of Arizona. Since moving to Tucson, I have discovered a rich culture and a buzz for life. Such an inspiration can only enhance my drive to create art, and in the future I hope to work for studios such as Disney and Pixar. Every master must start at the beginning though, so I am always open to commissions and joint project with my peers. As always, I try to maintain a personal feel to my work as my own style emerges, and as Picasso once said, "I put all the things i like into my pictures...they just have to put up with it."

A good two years of school has given me a great boost of confidence in my abilities. So much so, I am venturing to create my own animated film. Nothing immense, but a 2-3 minute film meant for applications and experimentation. The process itself is quite invigorating! For a time during school I doubted if I had chosen the correct major, Fine Arts, because of my passion for Disney. I see now that everything obtained from those courses completely fueled my current abilities. The excitement, when a background is finished, or the elation of seeing my Character Sheets take shape, is exactly the same as watching my under paintings come to life or my Charcoal simmer with energy. I never imagined such satisfaction from the animation process, but it's very clear to me now that this is what I want to do. Besides designing every little detail, and going through story board after story board, I am attempting to build an in-home studio. My recent adventure on eBay wasn't so successful in regards to an animation board, but nonetheless I know what I want, and it's going to take more than t**7 outbidding me to slow things down! Unfortunately, there is still another two years before I have my Bachelor's, but the silver lining is that I will be taking more animation and specified classes; I cannot wait
