About

I’m a painter, graphic designer, and illustrator working out of Fairbanks, Alaska. My work is primarily about color  and energy and usually depicts animals in an anthropomorphic light combined with iterative marks meant to suggest the natural world. I’m always interested in trying new media, learning new processes, and collaborating with other artists. Some of my accomplishments are listed below.

 

You can seem my website here.

I have an Etsy store as well as a Redbubble store where more of my work is displayed.
