I've been an artist all of my life--starting with a correspondence course from Art Instruction Schools, then continuing to learn on my own. First drawing, painting,sculpture, then airbrush illustration before getting my first computer and being introduced to digital art, Computer Aided Design (CAD), and animation. I was a Designer and Creative Director at SMP Instore Marketing solutions for 15 years. I developed award winning displays for Jelly Belly Candy, Mizuno USA, Keebler, Lance, Sanford Uniball, Anheuser-Busch, Frito-Lay and Pepsico, to name a few. I've been creating computer animation as Zandoria Studios™ since 1999. In 2004 I created visual effects for Bryan Michael Stoller's film "Miss Cast Away and the Island Girls". In 2014 I created an animated character "TAR of Zandoria", a hippopotamus barbarian in search of adventure, dancing girls and fruit punch! I am now illustrating a graphic novel: "The Scroll of TAR"...
