French Horn Players, Bassoonists, and Oboists
I started my Etsy shop during a hot California summer, back in 2012. One of the first drawings I remember creating when I was a kid was of a jazz band featuring a saxophonist, clarinetist, and trumpeter. It was drawn during a summer vacation in Spain, in a hotel situated in the area known as the Pinares de Oromana, near Alcalá de Guadaira. I later went on to play the clarinet in middle school, but I definitely found it easier on everyone's ears and better on everyone's eyes to draw clarinets instead of playing them.
I try to create illustrations that capture the rhythms and movements of musicians and instruments: instrument and player become one, a sort of musical deity or spirit composed of lines, colors, and shapes. I create a unique little band or mini-orchestra with each illustration, with various wind, string, and percussion instruments complementing each together. My background is in academia (I have a Master's in medieval history), so I enjoy researching and learning about new instruments: the unique curvature of an alto flute, the history of the uilleann pipes, the sound of the obscure saxtromba...
I'm also a cartoonist, and my graphic novels include the series known as the Theresiad, featuring the San Tesifonte pharmacist Theresa Sifuer.

If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message. To keep shipping and packaging costs down for you as a consumer, and to reduce any chance of scratching or breaking of frames, prints are not framed and unfortunately I don’t sell my work framed. You will just receive the illustration(s) in a strong tube. I apologize for the inconvenience. My goal is to keep my work affordable for you.
