I've been an illustrator for more than 12 years now, and I think it's great to be in a creative profession, where I can continually develop innovative artwork. When I originally developed my current style, I worked in oils and acrylics. Now I use Adobe Photoshop, and a variety of other digital tools to achieve the same style.

My traditional illustration background enables me to think conceptually, and to create solid compositions with colorful realism. My background in graphic design and desktop publishing has enabled me to streamline development of my work, efficiently make revisions to illustrations when needed and prepare high resolution print-ready files.

I've had the pleasure of illustrating the Prehistoric North America series of educational children's books for the Millbrook Press, as well as The Great Giants, an educational computer game published by TS Denison/Instructional Fair (now part of McGraw-Hill).
