Summary: Being a professional artist for a number of years, I've been able

to cross over into the fields of fine art, illustration, and web design.

Incorporating traditional and modern technologies has allowed my work to

flourish in many professional worlds. I grab on to the visceral side of

life in my work to express the truest side of the subject matter.
