I live  in the Mojave Desert in Apple Valley, California; with it's dramatic temperature changes and breathtaking cold golden dawns. While I am now an acrylic and digital artist; I still enjoy the struggle and journey of keeping a passionate sketchbook habit. In my time off from art I am also a professional figure model and a green technology enthusiast/developer, who loves to design towards a cleaner, energy rich future for both humanity and our planet. As a graduate of the Bachelor's of Illustration program at the Academy of Art University; the last four years I have used my education to study illustration and concept art while passionately researching different mediums, techniques and approaches. I strive to find the best art and design solutions for clients and for my own visual communication. 

In my journey as an artist I was taught traditional/digital skill sets by Steve Hampton, Chuck Pyle, Craig Nelson, Robert Revels, Julie Downing, Henry Yan and so many more.  They helped me by putting their own spices in to my education, in which I will always be thankful for.
