    paper Portfolio of work

    Examples of my work, including technical posters and infographics, illustrative or cartoonish pieces, and even some character designs. I primarily focus on animal art, with a strong passion for equine art in particular. I have used programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign for my digital projects, and have also used traditional media like colored pencils. I also write all of my own text and labels.
