In my youth, I was fascinated by a number of artists. In particular, I admired the draftsmanship of Wally Wood, the graphic strength and abilities of J. C. Leyendecker, the iridescent qualities of Maxfield Parrish’s work and the dreamlike and technical genius of Salvador Dalí.

 

 

They were artists who amazed me with their mastery of skill and technique, along with the visual impact of their work. It’s become my passion to incorporate these qualities in my work.

 

 

My journey has taken me through a lifetime of design, painting techniques, and different mediums, but the goal has always been the same. I want to inspire and be inspired.

 

 

For me, no other type of work would be satisfying.

 

 

I’m at a point in my career as an illustrator and fine artist where I’m not intimidated by my materials. Rather, I am empowered by them. I can see the whole composition in my head before I start. Then it’s just a matter of rendering by using any medium necessary to fulfill my vision and expectations.

 

 

That doesn’t mean I won’t keep searching and exploring avenues that push my artistic piece a bit further and make it more stimulating. That’s part of the process.

 

 

I want to tell a story visually, and to create an end result flooded with color, contrast and panoramic perspective. I want to create an ideal world—not reality—but an idealized version, more dramatic and dynamic.

 

 

As a graduate of Art Center College of Design, I’ve worked in advertising, done editorial illustrations, book illustrations and artwork for corporations and the motion picture industry. I’ve also contracted with various collectors.

 

 

All I’ve ever wanted was to be creative and to express myself artistically.

 

 

With my art I can show a place in time using just my imagination and how I want it to be. I don’t set limitations as far as fact or realistic exactness. I don’t really care about that. This is my artistic vision and interpretation.
