About Me
I have been drawing from nature and imagination since I was young. A good part of my childhood was spent growing up near a state park where I enjoyed being outdoors. Nature was the place where the real world disappeared, and imagination came to life.
I love fantasy and sci-fi because of the magic in building and exploring new worlds. It's a window into the facets of our humanness and a fun process to piece together the story of a world. Illustration allows me to bring together some really wonderful moments that are really fulfilling.
Professionally, I begin my career as an artist later down the road. When I started out in school and work, I didn't understand the path to become a professional artist. And though the career I had developed since then was good, I found I still needed to pursue art once I had reached some goals in my life.
