Search, See, and Adapt Accordingly

I am a collage painter living and working in Washington, DC. In addition to my art, I work as an arts educator and children's literacy tutor, believing a well-rounded life feeds creativity. A 1999 graduate of The Rhode Island School of Design, with a BFA in illustration, my work has been sold throughout the US for the past 9 years. While I moved to DC in June, 2008, in search of a new arts venue, I have found, in this economic climate, I have had to call upon my flexibility and adaptability to explore new options. Fortunatly, I have always found my broad experience inevitably allows me to incorporate my professional corporate experiences into my artistic ones. I apologize to my repeat customers and clients coming to the site in search of new work, as I have been dedicating my time to finding full-time work in the DC area, and have had little time to produce. I have faith I will be able to return to full-time art production eventually, but, as it stands now, I am devoted to a career search in an administrative/management field. TO PURCHASE THE WORK: All the work is for sale, unless marked as "SOLD" or "Not for Sale". Payment forms include personal check, which can be mailed directly to me, or credit card (Visa & MC) or personal debit/checking account via PayPal. To purchase using PayPal, click on the "Buy Now" link beside the work. PayPal will inform me of the purchase, and I will mail you the piece* or have you pick it up at the gallery/venue where you saw it. If you prefer direct contact with me, or wish to see a piece in person before purchasing it from the site, you can contact me directly by: 1. Entering yourself in the guestbook with a message of inquiry. 2. Emailing me at: skyillustrator@gmail.com 3. Calling/texting me on my cell: (413) 219.1688. (I will always get back to you within 48 hours, pending some unforeseen catastrophe). Once I am aware of your interest, I will make arrangements with you in regard to pick up and/or delivery* of the work. *PLEASE NOTE: The prices listed DO NOT include Shipping/handling, as I have no idea whether I will be selling a piece to someone in Bangkok or suburban Massachusetts. Contained with your shipped piece will be an invoice for charges, which you may then either pay with PayPal, or with a personal check mailed directly to me. (Sorry, but it's the easiest way). I am available for private commissions, as well. You may customize your desired piece according to size, materials, color palette, and theme. All I ask is that you identify the style you want by choosing some of my previous works to use as reference. To remain informed of upcoming shows, and new pieces that I've added, please enter yourself in my guestbook. Thanks for looking and please visit often! ***Apologies to those of you who experience difficulty accessing my site, from time to time.

I have notified MyExpose of the issues and have faith that they're working on them.
