Fine Art & Illustration Services

GRAPHIC DESIGN

I have over 25 years of professional experience providing creative services for a diverse range of products and services: Telecommunications, Energy, Education, Consumer Packaged Goods and Sports Entertainment. Working collaboratively with other professionals to bring design and marketing solutions to life is my calling. Some of the services that I provide are; art direction, identity/logo creation, branding and collateral design as well as social-media and digital solutions. I look forward to building a relationship based on mutual respect and a desire to create some great work together.

So, what are you waiting for? Let's get started.

ILLUSTRATION

As a compliment to my graphic design I also provide illustration services using traditional and digital means. If you are looking more for an illustration specifically to use in a magazine article or an a book sleeve, I work in many styles and I'm sure that one of them will fit your project requirements.

VIDEO SERVICES

I enjoy the collaborative aspects of both film-making and live production for broadcast. I have gripped for several projects including the independent film 'Butterflies' (written and directed by Cayman Grant). I have been producing content for Trekkit TV, as seen on Bell Aliant's Community One (see the link below). I was also been part of Saint John's long-running Empty Stocking Fund broadcast and production team as floor director.

I have experience with many of the positions required on-set and a work ethic that is expected. For 3 years I was the re-play and highlight creator for The Saint John Sea Dogs Hockey Club. I was also charged with creating opening videos and ads with my post-production and editing skills for a variety of high-profile events at Harbour Station.

FINE ART

My art is not for everybody; that being said, I have held several exhibitions since 2013 with much success. I like to work in a variety of mediums from recycled household acrylic paint and collage to charcoal and ink. My work would best be described as 'abstract impressionism'.

Perhaps you want to add something different to your decor and aren't exactly sure what works in your space. Re-decorating? Make sure to save your colour palette and I will incorporate the same colours into a piece specifically for that environment.

PARTIAL PORTFOLIO OF WORK

My professional mission is to successfully solve your communication issues in a timely, cost-effective manner. I have been actively working in the graphic design industry since the Fall of 1992 when I secured my first position with a small firm in St. John's, Newfoundland. Since then I have been an entrepreneur, having operated a successful studio and freelance business and I have been employed by a wide variety of companies including some of the largest players in Atlantic Canada.

Having recently returned to Canada from working overseas, I am currently a member of the McCain Foods (Canada) Marketing Group as one of the graphic designers on the Creative Services team based in Florenceville, New Brunswick.

Prior to that I had been employed with College of the North Atlantic – Qatar (the second-largest post-secondary facility in the country of Qatar in the Middle East). In my role as Senior Graphic Designer I managed the art department within the college and collaborated with other creative professionals (social-media coordinators, web designers, copywriters, photographers, videographers, print suppliers and exhibition builders) to bring ideas to life on behalf of the college.
