teachers like Frances Neady at FIT
and Jack Potter at the School of 
Visual Arts in New York City, I

GIANFRANCO FERRE AD

This Gianfranco Ferre ad was created
for Carol & Mary store in Hawaii.
I worked with fashion director Carmen
Hedlund to present international designers
in weekly ads in the Honolulu Advertiser.


VERSACE AD

For several years I created the art
for weekly ads for Versace in 
Honolulu.


LOOKING BACK

Now cut that out!
Looking back when I started to draw fashion 
for Vogue working with Diana Vreeland to
today when fashion illustration is used rarely,
I am so glad that I was part of a time when
newspaper ads and magazines were so 
creative. This art was a look created with
cut paper that I did several years ago.
