Resume | CV

Frank Reaver

I'm a passionate artist and educator that is currently employed at Century High School in Carroll County Maryland. I currently teach and helped create the Interactive Media Production Program for Carroll County Public Schools. The program covers a wide range of interactive content including product design, web design, UI/UX design, 3d modeling and animation, AR / VR, game development and simulation. While working in Anne Arundel County I was recognized for creating a rigorous magnet art program responsible for rapidly developing student artistic skill at the 6th through 8th grade level. My expertise encompasses a broad range of both traditional and digital media. My abilities include creating sophisticated, technically skilled, eye catching artwork with emphasis on contrast and composition. I'm accustomed to multi-tasking and working in a demanding environment while displaying intrinsic motivation for excellence in both my art and career. Most recently I have been known for appearances on Food Network's Outrageous Pumpkins and Halloween wars: Hayride of Horrors.
