I have been in law enforcement since
1987.
I've always been interested in Art,
which was my major in college -- well, at least my first college, but was
unclear as to how I would eventually use my artistic abilities.
I went on to earn a degree in Criminal
Justice. By combining my love for art and law enforcement
experience, I feel I've come up with the perfect combination (for me anyway!).
Along with the work I do for the
Florence County Sheriff's Office, I also do freelance work on a variety
of cases... The most common being composite sketches, and age-progression
of missing persons, or wanted fugitives. In addition, I am involved
in what is known as the Historical Exhumation Project, where I reconstruct
the faces from skulls of historical tomb occupants. For more on this
project go to the following URL: www.forensicartist.com/facesfrompast.html
I have attended the following Forensic
Art Courses
- Facial Reconstruction on the Skull for Identification
- Comprehensive Composite Drawing
- Advanced Two-dimensional Identification Techniques
- FBI artist's Composite and Photographic Retouching Course
- IAI's 82nd Annual Educational Seminar
- Various College Art Courses
- Advanced Facial Reconstruction Sculpture
