Hi! I’m an illustrator living and working in the Pacific Northwest. My home studio is at the base of a dormant volcano which is pretty fun. I have a BFA in painting and graphic design and I lived in NYC for a while. While I was there I did a painting residency at SVA where I mostly ended up working on illustrations.
I started my career illustrating myths and legends and publishing them as small run mini books. I’ve been lucky to work with many wonderful publications and brands illustrating their stories since.
