My work features strong connections to narrative and nature. I enjoy making images that move between traditional drawing practices and digital painting. I attended the Maryland Institute College of Art (BFA) and the Vermont College of Fine Arts (MFA).

Based in the greater Houston area; when I am not drawing I enjoy the outdoors, reading a good book, and spending time with my family.

For illustration inquiries, please contact Carrie Hannigan of HG Literary at carrie@hgliterary.com.

Say hello on Instagram and follow along for more doodles, experiments, and process.
