Available to hire
With 35+ years as a visual artist, I create work that is original, rich, and engaging. My clients include publishers, agencies and independent authors who value a collaborative, detail-driven approach.\n\nAs a multidisciplinary professional, I fuse creative and technical know-how—fine art, concept development, narrative illustration, design, publishing, and print/digital compositing—to deliver projects with a holistic perspective. I guide concept interpretation, emotive storytelling, and storyboard-to-portfolio development, and I am proud of a track record of excellence, diversity, and personal attention to every delivery.
