Hi, I’m Sean, a Seattle-based visual artist and designer who builds bold, narrative imagery across painting, illustration, and print media. I earned a BA in Studio Art from the University of Denver and have since worked as an independent artist, muralist, and designer, collaborating with clients to translate personal visions into original artwork. I love blending traditional painting with digital tools to create pieces that resonate in galleries and on social media. My practice centers on exploring texture, color, and composition, whether I’m creating commissioned paintings, developing branding assets, or planning solo gallery shows. I’m committed to delivering high-quality work on deadline and bringing a friendly, collaborative attitude to every project.
