I have been in the field of graphic design for over 20 years. When I first started out, it was with the intention of working in animation. I had been enamored by the idea of being a Disney artist since I was a child. However, as my art developed, my focus developed as well. I realized my true passion was with creature art.
I have always loved drawing animals, but my greatest love has been fantasy. A long-standing dream I've had would be to work for a studio or in an industry that created monsters and other creatures for film, theater, or other media. The work I've done for Palladium Books has helped to fulfill some of that desire as well as helped to develop my abilities in creature design.
I am very skilled with traditional materials such as pen & ink, graphite, scratch board, and marker. In the last 10 years, I've also developed my abilities with digital illustration. My primary media is working in Photoshop and Illustrator. I love to explore the limits of this technology and love the options it gives me to create beautiful designs!
