Biography

I'm an artist and illustrator based in Ontario, Canada, with experience in graphite drawing, pen and ink, oil and acrylic painting, watercolour, and digital art. I've worked in a variety of styles, such as realistic portraiture, detailed illustrations, and stylized character designs.

I'm particularly interested in concept art and visual development for video games, film, television, and publishing. I enjoy the creative process of designing characters, costumes, creatures, machines, and environments, exploring different ideas and developing them into finished concepts. I'm equally interested in creating polished illustrations for novels, tabletop RPGs, game covers, and other official publications.

Outside of visual art, I'm also a writer and published novelist. I've spent years developing my own fictional characters, settings, and stories.

I've sold original artwork and continue to develop my skills across traditional and digital mediums. I'm particularly drawn to realistic and semi-realistic artwork, fantasy and science-fiction settings, intricate costume design, and detailed character illustration.

I'm currently looking for freelance, contract, or full-time opportunities, preferably remote, where I can contribute as a concept artist, character designer, or illustrator. I'm also happy to produce project-specific concept samples to demonstrate how my work could fit a studio's visual direction.
