Sample Talks

5 Things I've Learned as an Artist

This talk covers 5 unique things that I have learned from being an artist. These lessons are not about technique and not only pertinent to artists, but about life in general. The talk includes humorous anecdotes as well as a slide show of artwork photographs. As always, a question and answer session proceeds the talk.
