I am an illustrator and award-winning art director who grew up in Lancaster County, PA. This upbringing provided a deep appreciation for nature, which now inspires my work. My other inspirations include mythology, history, and human behavior.
I work with multiple mediums like ink, graphite, cut paper, and photoshop to create my illustrations.
I am available for assignments and commissions.
