Illustrator, Painter, Designer, & Fabricator
As an artist, designer, and fabricator with 15 years of professional experience, I understand from first sketch to final product what it takes to delight customers and drive innovation.
Painter | Digital & Concept Artist | Designer | Sketches
Oil Painter
These paintings are all oil on canvas, wood, or canvas board and include both studio and plein air work.
Digital & Concept Artist
As opposed to drawing over imported images, I draw digital paintings and illustrations by hand in Photoshop and Illustrator using a stylus and Cintiq. I follow the traditional oil painting method, including a sketch, underpainting, and color glaze to quickly create detailed, accurate digital art.
Designer & Fabricator
I love the iterative design process, particularly when it involves collaboration.
I am currently using AutoCAD Fusion for 2D/3D CAD design, with experience across 8 CAD design systems.
I specialize in 3D-modeling and rapid prototyping, as well as epoxy/resin, clay, polymer clay, and stone sculpture fabrication and painting.
Sketches
My sketch books are the testing ground for ideas &emdash; a place to plan, imagine, iterate, and perfect an idea. I believe sketches should be fully realized and dimensioned before moving on to the next creation phase. These sketches were done with white and graphite pencils, charcoal, or ink on paper.
