No matter how old people get, adults are just children grown up. Young or old, it is for the child nestled in every heart that I create my illustrations for. My work mostly focuses on telling a story, either illustrating a scene from an existing narrative or one from my own imagination.

Using both traditional and digital techniques, each project often consists of highly detailed illustrations that help create a sense of life to the elements within the composition and a range of hues that further assist in bringing elements to life and in setting the intended mood for the scene. Though my eyes may not work best, they are still able to capture the importance of detail. Just as every thread of a dazzling quilt plays a role in creating a majestic design meant to wrap you up in a state of warmth and comfort, so too are the details within my illustrations vital elements that piece together a story and wraps the viewer’s mind with wonder. My intention for every piece is to create smaller stories within the narrative, not just in the composition, but in the tiniest of details that can tell the viewer much more about the character(s), setting, time period, and of course the story. 

I wish to bring narratives to life through my work and open up the mind to the depths of imagination that storytelling has blessed us with. To be able to captivate the eye, only to then reach deeper, calling out to the inner child that lies within all of us.
