Ars Gratia Artis
This is the page where I’m supposed to share things about myself that relate to my professional life. Unfortunately, I was raised not to brag, or even talk about myself much. So writing this page is kind of like going to the dentist for me.
Time is short. I want to be creative. I want to do good work. I want to work with kind people. I want to laugh. I want to keep learning. I want to use my powers for good.
And yes, I was forced to take Latin. “Art for art’s sake.”
Visual Artist
My first-ever real purchase was an all-manual 35mm Minolta SRT-200 camera. It weighed a ton, had a metal body, and I swear you could drive in tent stakes with that thing. Cameras have evolved a lot since then, from film to tape to digital. But having an eye and telling a story is still something that develops (pardon the pun) over time.
Creative Artist
My creative expression also takes the form of sculptures, mixed media collages, paintings, photographs, poems, screenplays, even songs. Even if I never have another creative thought in my life, I have enough concepts written down in files, or “soon-to-be-art” in boxes, that I could stay busy forever.
Experienced
It doesn’t really matter if it’s paint, digital video, or film – it’s all just ever-changing media shared on ever-changing formats. Experience still matters on set or in post.
But the ability to tell a story – whether it’s by taking a single photograph, producing and editing TV commercials, making a short video, or creating a documentary – is what I can offer to clients and collaborators.
