I then furthered my training at the University of Missouri Kansas City with a Master of Fine Arts degree in Scenic Design (1998) under the influence of internationally renown scenic designer, John Ezell. </div> <bR> <div> I have maintained an active career working in a variety of capacities as both a scenic designer and fine artist.Some of these experiences have included: a permanent installation for the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry involving HO scaled replicas of Chicago Loop buildings and downtown Seattle, design for an enormous chandelier graphic for Arbor Place Mall (Douglasville, Georgia), stage designs for management meetings for companies such as Longaberger and Toyota, trade show exhibits, such as ADP and Netcaddy.com, representation in the Prague Quadrennial 1999 for my set design of <I>Crazy for You</I> (Directed by Ernie Williams), and gallery showings and commissions in Cincinnati and Chicago. I have enjoyed opportunities to work collegially with people in a variety of settings and collaboratively achieve tremendous outcomes. In addition to enhancing my design skills, through these experiences I have learned leadership and the importance of teamwork.</div> <bR> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
