Hi.
Firstly I would like to thank you for visiting my official
website. I am currently working on various fantasy and
fairy artworks. |

A
little background |
Since I was child, I have always had a huge interest
in all things fantasy. In animated films, movies like
Legend, and fairytale books. My mind would soar and
escape to imaginary places I would often wish existed.
I would often draw enchanted worlds and characters and
write short stories about them that collected over the
years in sketchbooks. At the age of 12, I submitted
my drawings to Disney, hoping to get a gig. I actually
got a reply. However, the response was advice stating
I need to go to a school to get a degree and afterwards,
apply again. I was greatly disappointed but I continued
drawing with even more enthusiasm. |

After high school, I attended a community college to
pursue computer animation while also taking a few courses
in video production and creative writing. I later transferred
to a private art school and changed my major to pursue
in web design. In those previous years, I wasn't sure
what I wanted to do exactly. I was a member of an independent
comic book team as a pencil artist and a member of a
small video game company creating character designs.
I worked for Fox Animation Studios on the film, "Titan,
A.E." in the Digital and Ink department. I switched
my major to graphic design and in 2003 I started freelancing
as a book cover designer, graphic designer, and illustrator. |

Today, I am married to a wonderful husband and have
two wonderful children. I work full time as a fantasy
and fairy artist, book cover designer, illustrator and
writer. Many influences are anime, fantasy, sci-fi,
and gothic/paranormal themes. These are what I enjoy
portraying in my work. I try to experiment with new
concepts and colors that call out to me in each piece
I work on. |
