I’m an American artist, and I’ve spent my life chasing the simple idea that drawing can say things that words can’t. I graduated with a BFA in Character Animation from CalArts in 2009, at a time when the industry was shifting fast from hand drawn work to computer graphics. I loved drawing too much to follow that path, so I kept sketching on my own terms and built a career around it.
Most of my drawings come from time spent outside. I’ve traveled with a sketchbook through places like Borneo, Sri Lanka, and India, following wildlife and learning how animals move, rest, and exist in their own spaces. Being out in the field taught me to trust quick marks, observe honestly, and draw what I see instead of what I think something should look like.
My work focuses on wildlife, nature, and expressive linework. I like drawings that feel alive, pieces where you can see the movement of the pen and the decisions behind each stroke. Everything on this site reflects the way I work: simple tools, direct observation, and a focus on form, gesture, and character.
