I've 28 years of experience painting backgrounds and mattepainting for both Feature animation and liveaction films. I started my carear as a Background artist for Walt Disney Feature Animation where I worked with and learned from some of the industries best artists. My first films being Tarzan, Atlantis and Treasure Planet which were a real painters films!

 I'm a strong believer in learning from all the artists around you and sharing the knowledge you've gained. I take great satifaction seeing the artists in my teams grow as painters by helping them get the best out of their paintings!
