Encouraging Other Artists
Find Resources & Tools
As I've built my career as an artist, I've found some tools and resources that have helped me immensely. If you are a maker, artist, creative, or small business owner, look below to see if any of these can help you in your pursuit. My goal is to help create community among artists - not competition. I'm a big fan of the Rising Tide Society (check them out on Facebook or Instagram). And if there are any questions you think I could help answer, feel free to drop me an email, below.

Helpful Apps
I export my photos (after editing in Lightroom) to Dropbox, so that I can save them to my phone and post to social media. Dropbox makes my photos available on any device. Click HERE for subscription info.
Hyperlapse
I use this app on my iPhone to make my timelapse photos. I often use the Videoshop app to add light and music. Clip & Go is another good app for editing video.
