Thank you for visiting and viewing my work.

It has been an adventure with many twisting, branching roads. Since receiving my BFA from Cornell University, before digital art was ubiquitous, I have become adaptable – from first opening Photoshop thirty years ago to learning product development and engineering on-the-job to incorporating AI into everyday workflows. My path has been that of constant learning and growth. My avatar would have to be a “Swiss Army Knife”, as I tend to be versatile, a quick study, and able to do many things. Admittedly, being a “Master” in one area has eluded me, but that’s a continual search.

After a decade as an Instructor at the Art Institute of Philadelphia, I decided to abandon teaching in favor of commercial work. This includes toy design, product design, packaging and production art, illustration, game art and design, and – more recently – plush design and development. I am very familiar with manufacturing processes, comfortable in a leadership role and have a knack for tech and prototyping. In addition to print design and product development I can edit video, animate, create motion graphics and, more recently (and somewhat begrudgingly), integrated AI into development processes. My career trajectory has been one of continual, self-directed learning. Communicator or Problem-Solver, if you will.

But my true desire has always been to illustrate. Fantasy landscapes, magical characters and imaginary worlds, sprinkled generously with heavy metal, are where I wish to be. It isn’t the bulk of my “professional” work, but I’ll be updating it here to document and share. Even if that never becomes profitable for me, I will keep on imagining and creating.
