About
I have more than 20 years experience as a professional artist in illustrating, animating and designing for newspapers, game companies, publishers and local small businesses. During my career I’ve had many an opportunity to use my painting and life drawing skills to illustrate stories and create inspiring works of fine art. My experience in the game industry has afforded me the opportunity to develop the ability to match most any art style needed for the project at hand. My painting experience with science fiction, horror, and fantasy conventions has fired up my passion for painting and released my imagination. I would like to apply my extensive creative background to creating inspiring paintings and breath-taking decorative works for architectural settings of significant and lasting artistic and social value.
