I am a painter and illustrator from Huntington, West Virginia. I live here with my soulmate Stephen, our two kids and our doberman.

I've been drawing since I figured out how to hold a pencil and haven't stopped since. My roots are in illustration and comic book style art. I grew up watching X-men and Spider-man on Saturday morning with my Dad and continued collecting comic books and science fiction throughout my teenage years. As a young adult, I was attracted to nature poetry and embracing the darker aspects in life as a means of balance and respect. I had always been intrigued by the dark, but hadn't learned to embrace it as a part of me until I began studying and teaching yoga.

Since then, my art has taken new forms; everything from deep space odysseys to nature, presented in a way that takes something familiar and shows it to you in a strange light. This for me is an outlet for my struggles with mental health, particularly Bipolar Disorder. It had helped me develop my ability to shine full brilliance through all facets of myself. I hope to continue this throughout my career as an artist.
