Began airbrushing in 1983, after some time drawing live portraits and caricatures in beaches and shopping malls along the east coast. Airbrushed in resorts and shopping malls on the east coast, notably Virginia Beach Va., and Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Since 1990, based in the Baltimore and Harford County, MD area.
Employed full time by various contractors since 2000 (no affiliation to BurrartDesign) as a graphic, Web and multimedia designer for the U.S. Army. Since then, airbrushing became a part time business but has never stopped. BurrartDesign Web site has been successfully operating year-round since 2002.
