Drawing since an early age, my passion for the arts and desire to learn led him to pursue a degree in Illustration from Missouri State University, where I earned my BFA in Design with an Emphasis in Illustration in 2011. Over the years, I have developed a decorated background across a wide variety of traditional and digital mediums. My proficiencies include Adobe Creative Suite, Maya, Houdini, and an ever-growing arsenal of traditional tools.

​

As a dedicated visual artist, I strive to bring a unique blend of technical skill, creativity, and aesthetic sensitivity to every project. My career in illustration and design has allowed me to work both independently and collaboratively, always committed to artistic innovation and clarity of vision. I am heavily inspired by great masters such as Arthur Rackham—often considered the father of modern fantasy illustration—and Alphonse Mucha, a defining figure in the Art Nouveau movement. Elements of both influences can be seen woven throughout much of my work.

In addition to studio practice, I am a capable educator with strong leadership skills and a commitment to guiding students’ personal and artistic development. My background in curriculum and instructional techniques help young artists deepen their knowledge, refine their craft, and grow their appreciation for the arts.

I currently resides in the deep woods of St. Louis, Missouri. When not hunched over a drawing table, I can be found engaging in various forms of mischief—running from trolls, dabbling in arcane magic, observing the sacred weekly holiday known as Tie Friday, and maintaining a deeply spiritual connection with unicorns. But really… why would you want to know about any of that?
