WHAT KIND OF EXPERIENCE DO I HAVE?

It all started in my third grade English class. I wrote short stories for extra credit. I knew then that writing would always be a part of my life. Like other forms of art, I believe it's something you're born to do.

I started a zine in high school with a group of close friends called Epsilon's Circus. You can read more about E.C. here. During this time, I wrote many short stories and plays. A play I wrote was produced by the Chicago Dramatists Theater.

When I started college, I still had the desire to publish my own literary magazine. Luckily, I was surrounded by an amazing group of friends that were artists, designers, and fellow writers. We worked hard to put together a publication that provided other artists an outlet in which to be heard. We called our publication Circle68: Writer's for a Free Voice.

For a short period of time, I also wrote for the Daily Illini and various online magazines.

In 2001, I graduated with B.A. in English from the University of Illinois. Since then, I have created various copy for local businesses and artists in the Chicagoland area. I have always been fascinated by artists and have a deep respect for those that follow their dreams.

I have two other businesses - MushMato, which is a web design business and Piebell, my jewelry line. I believe these businesses propelled me to understand true entrepreneurial spirit.

WHY YOU NEED AN ARTIST BIOGRAPHY:

Your biography is an essential piece of writing that every artist needs. It conveys who you are, what you do, and the type of art you create. It accentuates your portfolio for dealers, curators, and the press. It also gives your buyers and fans extra information about you.

HOW MUCH DO MY SERVICES COST?
