About

I am a freelance artist and illustrator based in Los Angeles. My work is fantastical, yet macabre and uncanny with a campy sense of humor. I’m interested in a variety of ways illustration is applied, including poster design, publishing, packaging, and more. Additionally, I’m interested in fine art and printmaking. While my work spans a variety of visual fields, all of it is evocative of another time.
