About Me

Member Since 2021 | Views: 130

I am a versatile and adaptable artist, fabricator, scenic artist, and visual storyteller with expertise in both traditional and digital techniques, allowing me to navigate a diverse range of creative disciplines. I bring a wealth of experience, having worked as a scenic for theatre, film, and events, as well as creating immersive installations for galleries, designing key art, beat boards, and storyboards for film, with a noteworthy role as an assistant painter and set builder for the internationally acclaimed pop artist Ron English.

Additionally, I contribute my creative work to the realms of fine art, book illustration, editorials, album covers and posters. I have also taught classes and coached private students at both the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, as well as virtual, online sessions with the New York Public Library.

I am proficient in Photoshop, Storyboard Pro, Procreate and Sketchbook Pro, as well as the majority of traditional painting and drawing media.

Regardless of the medium, I always feel the most at home whenever I get the chance to create, explore and breathe life into ideas in ways that excite and inspire my clients and their fans. I look forward to bringing my passion and expertise to your next venture.
