About the Artist
I've been drawing my whole life, but decided I wanted to to do it professionally as a Caricature Artist, and LOVE it! I received most of my "training" through Goofy Faces, as an artist at The Cincinnati Zoo, as well as self training through various books and videos. I've drawn at kids birthday parties, Senior adult birthday parties (93 year old!), Wedding Receptions, Anniversary Parties, Family Reunions, Corporate Parties & Events, Trade Shows, and Festivals. When drawing "Live Quick Sketch" caricatures at events I draw on 11" x 15" paper (it fits nicely into a standard 16" x 20" frame and matte) and place each finished drawing in a plastic bag. Clients have included The Western & Southern Tennis Open (Cinci), The University of Dayton, Wrights State University, The University of Cincinnati, Xavier University, Care Source of Dayton, Rumpke Waste & Recycling, Montessori School of Cincinnati, and numerous private functions. In addtion to drawing humans I also do creative cartoony "Pet-Catures". Cartoonified drawings of pets.
