I am a professional illustrator with the talent and skills to carry your concept to finished project with passion and dedication. My experience with various clients has made me a flexible artist open to outside- of the box and innovative ideas. I work mostly in traditional drawing and painting illustrations, however can do excellent digital work on Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. I have worked digitally, traditionally and in public art. One of my most exciting accomplishments was working on the first- ever fully painted, 80- minute feature film, called Loving Vincent, in Poland. I worked on the film with a team of international painter- animators to complete the last frames of the 64000+ frames of the film. It premiered in the United States in October 2017 and is now available on Netflix, and other platforms. I illustrate children's books of all kinds of styles in gouache, watercolor, pen and ink, pencil and mixed media. Some of the most recently published and award-winning books I have illustrated, are called "In the Nick of Time", "This is the Earth", "Like Rain Water" written by D. Cummings, "Little Tuckie", written by A. Tucker and "Dear Danger", a novel written by T. Lowe. Other titles I have illustrated are, "Rudolph the Longhaired Dachshund", "Mathimals", and various others. They are available in Print, on Makeawaymedia, Amazon, Barnes & Nobles and Google. In the public realm, I design and paint murals indoors as well as outdoors, stretching up to 24 feet long on buildings. These experiences make me an excellent team worker and independent artist to see projects through with hard work, reliability and innovation.
