He's Got The Whole World In His Hands

Q: What is your typical art process for working with a new client?

​A: If a client is interested in creative services, we meet first over the phone or in person and discuss their art needs. Then I will provide a quote based on the amount of hours a project will take. If hired, I provide a sketch for review before painting in the illustration or finalizing the concepts.

Q: What education or training do you have that relates to your work?

A: I attended The Ohio State University and studied visual communication under their college of Arts and Science.

Q: How did you get started working in this field?

A: I've always loved art and design and have been blessed to make a career of it. After studying art and design in college I worked professionally for corporations for about 5 years before deciding to go into business for myself. Now, I work daily from my home studio, A Create Place. I've loved every minute of learning about a client's needs, teaching art classes and helping folks navigate the creative process.

Q: What can I expect for your pricing?

Creative services such as custom art pieces and logo design are bid on a per-project bases and are based on the hours I expect I will work on a project. Most custom pieces range from $480 to $1,000 depending on the complexity of the project. I'd be happy to speak with you over the phone, in person or via e-mail to decide if I am a good fit for you and your project budget. More pricing details can be found on my services page.

Q: Do you offer wholesale pricing?

A: Yes, I offer wholesale prices for those interested in stocking my notecards, prints and artwork. Contact me for more information.

Q: What advice would you give a person looking to hire a creative professional?

A: Look at the work of the person you are considering hiring. Make sure that their personal style fits the style of art or design that you would like to achieve. I would also consider getting references or reading testimonials and reviews of the person you are hiring.

Q: What kind of frames and sizes do you recommend for your prints?

A: For my 11X14 prints, I recommend a 16x20 frame with a chunky matte to fit. All prints can be fit in a ready made standard sized frame that can be purchased at your local hobby and framing shop. I offer most prints in 8x10, and 11X14 and 16X20. I also sell digital copies of my work.

Q: What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about creative services?

A: They should think about what they "are for" I often ask my clients and students to think about what they are for and make a list of those things that they love. This helps creative services people to better understand what their clients are looking for. It is also a good idea to have a budget in mind when considering a class or project. Lastly, I always think it is helpful to consider what you don't like. Providing information or examples of what you don't like is actually really helpful for a creative collaboration process. It helps the artist or designer know what to avoid.
