Experience
If you are looking for a tutor in cartooning and comics, visual arts, or writing, please contact me. I graduated from an MFA program which focused on creating comic books and graphic novels and all related skills--from creative writing to graphic design to film studies. I have a broad academic background in visual arts, especially drawing and painting. My media include pencil, pen and ink, ink wash, scratch-board, oil, acrylic, gouache, watercolor, oil pastel, and Adobe Photoshop. I am also a writer not only of comics, but also of prose fiction and nonfiction narratives and essays. My best work often features wild animals or mythic monsters. I have produced various professionally published or self-published comics and stories, including parts of a forthcoming Junior Ranger book for the National Park Service. I have worked for the NPS as a seasonal resource education ranger, at parks including Yellowstone, Crater Lake, and Carlsbad Caverns. I prepared and delivered talks, hikes, boat tours, evening programs, and curriculum-based programs for school groups; on a broad range of natural science and cultural history topics (including field drawing and painting.) I am happy to tutor students of all ages!
