ABOUT THE ARTIST
headshot.jpg

As a child, I was enchanted by the words of Bradbury and King, cheered for characters like Atreyu and Ripley and often escaped to the far off worlds of Harryhausen and Henson.

​

With pencil in hand, I found myself walking alongside these wonderful creators and their creations.  Discovering a passion to explore stories that were rooted in a universe both dark and fantastic.

​

For over 20 years I have been fortunate enough to build a life and career around what I absolutely love.  Using digital painting techniques to create dark dreamlike images, I continuously work to provide a unique voice that evokes both the supernatural and surreal.
