A bit about me, and how I became an artist.
I have been fascinated with the world of fantasy since I was little, when my parents began reading me books like Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz. From then on my imagination was incurably overactive.  At an early age I began attempting to bring all the characters and stories in my head to life on paper.

I took a few art classes in high school and college, but was never really able to focus my skill or artistic vision.  My son was born in 2001, and I would often take the time during his naps to work on my art.  It's a bit tricky to have art supplies around a toddler, so once I discovered digital painting it felt like the perfect fit for me.  Working digitally also gave me the freedom to do a lot of experimentation, and I began to develop my own voice and artistic identity.  I started selling prints and licensing with companies who make t-shirts, cards, figurines, and other fun stuff featuring my artwork that are sold around the world.
