About

I’m a freelance artist who specializes in acrylic painting and illustration (traditional and digital).

Having spent significant time in Northern Nevada, Santa Barbara County, and the Pacific Northwest, I’m inspired by the imagery of the Western US: desert and mountain landscapes, warm colors, “Wild West” iconography, and the relationship between humans and the natural world. Neither hyper-realistic nor entirely surreal, my work often juxtaposes familiar flora and fauna with worlds that feel haunting or dreamy, depending on the subject.
