I’m an illustrator and visual storyteller with a lifelong passion for art that connects with people—whether it’s a mural that transforms a space, a children’s book that sparks imagination, or a digital design that brings a character to life. For more than 20 years I’ve worked across books, games and apps, art directing animation, and developing brand identities for clients from automotive to education. Now based in Walhalla, South Carolina, I’m focusing on illustration, painting, and character-driven storytelling that invites viewers to step into a world of imagination.
