My Bio
Who I am, what I do.

I grew up in a small town in Michigan, the kind of place where bored high school kids (us) raced their cars around a horse pasture for fun. My parents encouraged my interest in art and music from an early age and since we lived in the middle of nowhere I had a lot of time to develop it.

I moved to the Grand Rapids area in 2000 to attend college at Grand Valley State University, graduating in 2005 with a Bachelor of Fine Art with an illustration emphasis.

Since college I’ve been working as a Graphic Designer for local businesses around Michigan.

Though I’ve enjoyed the Graphic Design work I’ve done over the years, my career goals are to further my education with a MFA and illustrate children’s books. I've also become quite in interested in neotraditional tattoo art and may explore that route in the future.

After years of neglecting art I've decided to begin painting again. With the development of digital art tools I now have the time to digitally sketch or even paint on my iPad ( I have two kids under 6 so time is tight!) I'm researching and working to redevelop my style, technique and visual vocabulary. Right now I am very interested in neotraditional tattoo art, the painting techniques of fantasy artist K.Y.Craft and the surrealism in Frida Kahlo's work.
