I am an illustrator currently based in Portland, OR. Using paint and ink I create alternate realities that offer elements of whimsy and nostalgia.
Formerly a resident of Philadelphia, PA, I have organized and participated in exhibitions throughout the Philadelphia region since 2007, including Ephemera! at the Library Company of Philadelphia and World’s Fair at Kung Fu Necktie Gallery. I continue to illustrate and explore other worlds through travel, historical collections, animated films, reading and the creative community.
