I am a ghost painter and illustrator working in the art industry for over 15 years.
I have worn many hats and worked with multiple media.
Am I creative and a craftsman, but I am also great at taking direction and leading.
While working on my art career, i created a career in luxury retail management that spanned over 20 years. This taught me tools that many artist don’t have, such as communicating with HR proficiency, managing large groups of people, and being exposed to vast software in order to communicate with my peers.
Please ask questions, no résumé will never be long enough to share what I’ve worked on.

Worked with HK as his ghost painter since 2014. I have designed and created a series of hundreds of realistic watercolor paintings on unprimed linen cloth. Most of them are sail boats, which require very sharp details, and precise lines. Some have more organic forms which include humans, and other living elements. The artist then signs and saw the work as his own. painter artist ghostpainter watercolor watercolorpainter
I was commissioned by a client to create a portrait of a couple who was getting married. This is my clients business partner and his new wife, with their dog. Their heritage is Hawaiian and Peruvian, and they love flowers and to travel. I created this montage using the information given, the couple absolutely loved it and it now hangs at the entrance of their new home. This is watercolor and ink stippling.
I was commissioned by a client to illustrate the arrival of Atahualpa Yupanki (Argentinean folklore singer), to the town of Azul, in the province of Buenos Aires Argentina. He has a song that says that the “axis of his cart squeak, and he won’t grease them because he enjoys the sound as he travels silently on his roads”. It’s about a humble cart driver who has everything he needs. The illustration depicts the cart full of gold, dropping coins as he travels, the sound of the gold coins hitting the ground, is the “sound of the axis of his cart”. He is rich, even though he is simply a farmer. The client was very pleased with the illustration.
Have been working with LC since 2016, I create most of the backbones and signs for his work, and execute realistic oil paintings with precision. I focus on selecting some areas with high realism, and some areas I leave in sketch stages. Giving enough room for the artist to express himself over my work. oilpainting oil painting ghostpainting ghostartist art
