Artist Statement:
In essence, I create my
artwork in an attempt to
somehow capture that narrow
window of time in all of our
lives when, as children, magic
was as real as anything else.
It is a time when faeries take
old teeth leaving coins in
return, when pencils are
spaceships, when boogiemen
hide in closets, and where
beneath every leaf, secret
things lie hidden. It is a
time that is quickly lost,
taken by the cynicism of age,
the pessimism of our modern
world, or the skeptical nature
of science. In my work, I
seek to offer an escape for
the viewer back to the time
before all of those factors
scraped the magic away from
their innocent eyes. This
search began when I was very
young, but commenced
professionally in 1995 when I
started to paint fantasy and
science fiction images that
would appear on books,
magazines and collectable
cards. This work has granted
me the opportunity to create
the fantastic creatures and
environments that dwell in my
imagination. Since that time,

| Your Personal Biography |
Over the years, I have worked as a freelance artist painting and drawing a wide range of projects for the publishing industry. These varied assignments include numerous book and magazine covers and interiors as well as collectable card games. To successfully complete these diverse jobs I have used many different traditional mediums, such as oil and acrylic paints, as well as digital programs like Photoshop and Painter. Currently, while functioning as a freelance illustrator and concept artist completing projects initiated by clients, I am also developing my own intellectual properties such as books for children and young adults.
In addition to my professional artistic career, I have functioned as a guest lecturer and I’ve tutored various individuals of assorted age and skill level in drawing, painting and illustration. Through these activities, I have found that teaching people about art and the many tools they may use in its creation is a fundamentally rewarding occupation. |
