My Portfolio










These are just a handful of some of the pieces that I've done over the past few years.  My medium of choice is drawing, especially with graphite and charcoal.  I have had the most experience with these materials, but at my time at USC, I have been taught how to use many different mediums.  

I feel very comfortable with printmaking, acrylic/oil painting, watercolors, photography, and 3D sculpture.  My experience with ceramics was a good one, but I could definitely sharpen my skills with working with clay.  In terms of subject matter, my ability with drawing the human figure can certainly be increased.  I took a figure structure class, where I learned quite a bit, but I don't feel as comfortable with that subject as I do with others.

Ideally I would teach strictly drawing.  I would teach materials such as graphite, charcoal, pastels, ink, and colored pencil as my skills with these materials are much greater than the others mentioned above.  If I were to teach some of the other materials, I could teach them just fine on a basic level, but would still need to practice.  If time allowed, I would continue to take courses at USC or any other local institution.  If I do not have the time to attend classes, I would purchase the materials myself and practice on my own using information from internet sources.  I would also contact my fellow teachers and ask for advice on the matter.
