Resume

Artist Statement

My step-grandfather Joe decided to challenge me one night he caught me reading one of the old Walter Farley books. He told me he didn’t think I was reading correctly, that I wasn’t seeing what was written on the page, I was going to show him. He read a paragraph from the book to me and had me tell him what I saw. For the first time I closed my eyes and could see everything, could feel the wind on my face smell the sweet smells. I came alive that day in my creativity. My writing changed and how I viewed things. Instead of bland I would immerse myself in my imagination with every part of my being.

I wrote more and my description of things took on a whole new meaning. When I wrote now it was like I was there. Experiencing it like it was really happening around me. I could see, taste, and feel it. Wanting to learn how to get it out so that people could both read and see it, I pushed to know more. Learn about editing; learn more about how to use a camera, more about sound and music. There was nothing I didn’t want to learn.

With my drive to learn more I’ve developed the ability to take what I need to tell the story and evoke the emotion even on a minimalist level. I look forward to taking my ability to work with what is given to me and making it work for the situation and needs at hand. I look forward to making compelling narratives, and marketing videos combining both my affinity for technology and animals.
