I went to school at University of the Arts with the hopes of earning a degree in Animation when I took an introduction to Illustration class. After that I was hooked and changed my major. Bringing my favorite stories to life in painting was exciting to me, and still is, which is why I was drawn to Children's Illustrations over periodicals or book covers.
I am influenced by such artists as Arthur Rackham, Beatrix Potter and even Gary Larson, Tex Avery and other cartoonists. So my artwork, where appropriate, will always have a playfulness to it where I explore different slants to stories that have been around for a while.
I also enjoy being historically accurate when I can, like when I illustrate Bible stories, and research costumes and architecture for the time period if it is relevant to what I am illustrating.
Another subject that is common in my artwork is animals: I am told that I have a gift in being able to draw animals very accurately, and most of it from brief time spent studying the subject animal. This is because wild life and nature has always been a huge interest of mine; to the point of where I almost went to school for zoology. Since I was able to read and even before I spent my time reading about animals, watching documentaries, so drawing and painting the subject comes easily to me.
