I’m an award-winning freelance digital illustrator and portraitist based in the United States. My Art Nouveau-influenced style combines flowing lines and decorative borders with flat areas of color in place of shading — a look that translates beautifully across book, editorial, advertising, and product work.
My three illustrated titles in Carole P. Roman’s “If You Were Me and Lived in…” series (Elizabethan England, The American West, and The Mayan Empire) have collectively earned 17 awards, including the National Indie Excellence Award. These middle-grade books showcase my ability to research and accurately depict everything from 16th-century English court dress to MesoAmerican architectural detail for a middle-grade audience.
I also offer portraiture — whether striking and stylized or realistic digital paintings — with an emphasis on capturing a true likeness. My work additionally includes elegant, flowing line art, intricate borders, and pencil drawings.
