​

I am an Oregon based illustrator and concept artist currently working in the videogames industry.

​

I grew up in Monte Vista, Colorado. I attended Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design in Denver, graduating Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration. I went on to work for Dire Wolf Digital LLC on several trading card game projects including Elder Scrolls Legends and Eternal TCG. Most Recently I’ve worked with Sideshow Collectibles as a concept artist and Illustrator.

​

I have a passion for all aspects of art and art making. However, my strong interests in biology, paleontology, and comparative anatomy have given me a great appreciation for paleoart, wildlife illustration and creature design. I try to learn as much as I can from nature in an effort to accurately represent life from the real world and infuse my own fictitious creatures with a greater sense of believability.
