Summary: Being a professional artist for a number of years, I’ve been able to cross over into the fields of fine art and illustration. Incorporating traditional and modern technologies has allowed my work to flourish in many professional worlds. I grab on to the visceral side of life in my work to express the truest side of the subject matter.
