I currently hold 2 degrees, one is a bachelor’s of fine art degree in Digital Arts
from Bowling Green State University where I learned 3d modeling, 3d animation, programming, web
design and graphic design. The second degree I hold is a master’s of fine art degree in Illustration
(Concept Art Focus) from the Academy of Art University. This has lead to my focus in conceptual
design for video games and film.
I've have been instructing students since at some capacity since I was a senior in high school. I've taught children ranging from 6 to 17 and have tutored adults of all ages.
I structure my lessons based on a project and critique model. This means you will be given an assignment and time to complete it, after which I will personally critique your work and show you the places that need improvement.
Students I have tutored have obtained increased marks on the their art projects and have gained a greater under standing of the artistic craft.
