- About Me:
- I was introduced to architectural rendering when I enrolled in the architecture program at North Dakota State University in 1987.
I was already interested in art and drawing and I decided to translate my interest in art to the field of architecture. I graduated from NDSU in 1992 with BA in architecture but for the next seven years I didn't have very many opportunities to develop my rendering skills as I became more of a project architect dealing only with technical aspects of the projects. I wanted to work more in the artistic areas of architecture rather than the technical aspects. At that time, I was working for Ellerbe Becket in Minneapolis. When other architects in the firm learned of my interest in rendering, I was offered the opportunity to do more architectural renderings in the office. I was uncertain about whether this would work for me as I had envisioned that I would be a project designer, using my design and drawing skills on my projects.
I had a change of mind about this path after spending three days on Block Island in Rhode Island at a watercolor workshop with architectural illustrator Frank Costantino. I was very impressed by his professionalism and the way he presented himself as a true artist within the context of architectural illustration. I had been working under the impression that a full-time “illustrator” was someone who worked alone, removed from the process of designing. After meeting Frank and learning about his work, I was able to see that I could really focus on my true passion – illustration – and still be involved with architects and designers in a new way. Soon after that, I discovered Adobe Photoshop as another tool in my illustration work and I became even more interested in doing rendering full time. I was excited about the possibilities of using digital media in the process of illustration. Then, in 2002 I started my own business, Creative Media Illustration. My focus has been working with architects from across the United States on projects around the world.

now
on your interior work ?
we need to talk because the talent is here
Please take some time to study the members here ..in your field
thereis something they lack that you have ..and something they have that you lack
and the difference makes some artists and others architectural renderers ....it is the artists work oddly which is framed and hung in the corner still standing decades later
hmmmm could it be that love factor ?
