I have had experience in portrait, landscape and urban <br /> photography as well as oil painting and drawing in various media. <br /> Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: <br /> I would like to get more involved in the community in which I call home, and I would like to learn <br /> more about the way the Arts Commission can provide a positive impact in the daily lives of <br /> Orange County citizens and visitors firsthand. <br /> Contribution to the diversity of viewpoints on this board: <br /> Having many years of experience in the Technology industry working for Microsoft, I may be <br /> able to include valuable insight into the importance of more emergent forms of art and the ways <br /> to include Technology in the discussion of advertising, promotion, and distribution of local art. <br /> Having also been a student of art and technology, I have the vocabulary to connect and convey <br /> with younger population segments. Being in my early 30's currently gives me a unique <br /> perspective on the digital divide in generations, having lived pre and post mainstream internet <br /> usage. I understand and respect the validity of traditional art along with more experimental and <br /> new forms of expression. <br /> Conflict of Interest: <br />
