What I Do...

As a freelance artist I wear many hats. Exploring different aspects of art not only keeps me inspired, but I find that each process informs the other. The more one explores and experiments the more interconnected everything becomes.


My career spans fine art, illustration, and animation, in both studio and personal practice. Working in commercial pipelines has given me a structured approach to projects. While my independent practice has allowed me to continue to develop creatively.


Whether working digitally or with traditional media, I approach each project with openness to explore creatively. 


Below you’ll find more information on the practices that shape my work.

Cartoons & Illustration

Art is freedom and the imaginative play space of cartoons is perhaps the ultimate source creative freedom. Working in the animation industry has also had a strong influence on my work and style. I really enjoy making things that could only exist in the realm of cartoons.

Fine Art

I work in a variety of mediums including oil paint, collage mixed media, pen and ink, pastels, and more. I really enjoy the act of creating art for arts sake.

If you are interested in purchasing original artwork, requesting commissions, or soliciting for exhibition, please feel free to get in touch.

Editorial

Art can enhance and convey concepts often in a far more immediate than the written word. Graphic images combined with meaning can be a powerful catalyst and I enjoy helping bring ideas to life, whether in book illustrations, editorial magazines, and more.

Teach

My work is the result of the individuals who have shared their gifts and knowledge with me. Now it’s my turn to share that knowledge in return. If your interested in learning with me, feel free to reach out. I offer private tutoring and 1:1 sessions via zoom.
