I’m a concept artist and matte painter based in Toronto, I craft immersive worlds for film and games. My work ranges from high-end VFX matte paintings for Detective K and Screen X projects like Kingsman: Golden Circle, Black Panther 2, GunHamDoo, to developing environments and key visuals in video games.
