Biography: I'm an animator, illustrator and musician based in Los Angeles. Ever since I can remember I always had a pencil in my hand, drawing. I grew up in the High Desert north of Santa Clarita, CA; my close attachment to nature has influenced my work throughout my artistic career, from California State Summer School for the Arts (CSSSA 2012 and 2014) at CalArts, all the way through attaining my BFA at Otis College of Art and Design.
