I’m proud of the relationships I’ve developed over the years working with talented directors and marketing professionals who know the path to success. Computers have given me instant access to an industry of resources, which empower me to create beyond my own imagination and at the same time never let go of my own traditional skills.

I find my inspiration everywhere…and especially in the everyday moments of life. I try to evoke an emotion in the viewer, and help them connect with a story, a memory, or feeling. The best compliment I can receive is that my art made someone smile.
I work both traditionally and digitally, often mixing mediums. I enjoy narrative art…whether it’s an interpretation of an existing work, a tale of my own, or simply a stand-alone piece that suggests “story”.

I work digitally to emulate a scratchboard technique. The use of line tells a story. I work with line to build a special feeling between the image and viewer, and when it works, there is nothing more satisfying or magical. My personal work tends to focus on the stories going back generations that repeat from culture to culture. It is the timelessness and verbal tradition of folk tales that pulls me and inspires me to provide an image or setting to tales only whispered about.
