I am a traditional artist working on my personal art and in illustration. 
I graduated from the American Academy of Art in 1993. I soon began working at a traditional animation studio on commercials and independent animated films. I painted backgrounds traditionally for about ten years and was fortunate to design on two independent films, "Heads Will Roll" (directed by Wayne Brejcha) and "Stubble Trubble", (directed by Joe Merideth), nominated for an Academy Award in the short animated film category in 2000.
My career brought me to San Francisco in May 2000, where I began working in games and tv animation art directing and in various senior artist roles.
I studied after hours and on weekends at traditional ateliers and took many workshops near and far in the pursuit of learning traditional painting. Now I am exploring my work independently, finding myself interested in folklore, animals, fairies, and the dark side of hidden worlds.
