DESCRIPTION OF WORK:

I am a full-time artist in charge of Repair Room Department at Personal Preferences, Inc., a national art sales company. My duties include restoring and repairing old paintings that we sold, from all over the United States, dealing with auctions, conventions, and others. I do freelance artwork on the side, doing wall mural paintings for private homes and commercial businesses. I did some illustrations (in black and white ink) for Gaia’s Kidsign’s Club cassette tape, CD music, and sing-n-sign video. I deal with various kind of medium: colored pencils, acrylics, watercolor, and black and white ink. I have been a freelance artist for 7 years.

HOW ARTWORK IS (OR IS NOT) RELATED TO DEAFNESS:

None of my work is related to deafness. I am a bi-cultural person, meaning that I feel comfortable with deaf or hearing cultures. I use everything that applies to my work, and to meet everybody’s expectations of the work. Whenever someone recognizes my talent and asks me to draw something, I do it.
