I am an artist and author, located on the Illinois side of the St. Louis metropolitan region. I earned my MFA in Visual Art from Washington University in St. Louis where my interdisciplinary research and creative practice expanded into comparative literature, media studies, and computer graphics. I have accumulated over five years of teaching professional level courses in drawing, design, digital media, animation, and art history while also leading workshops, moderating panel discussions, and giving lecture demonstrations on advanced techniques of digital painting, character illustration, environment design, storyboarding, and creative writing. My scholarship continues to investigate the visual language, transmedia history, and intersecting philosophies of uncanny art and literature. The work I do specializes in illustration for comics, zines, and role playing games some of which has been published in comics anthologies, juried into gallery exhibitions, and collected by private and public libraries across the country. In my free time, when I am not sharing my passion for surrealism and visual communication with others, I especially enjoy reading science fiction, collecting physical media, and creating characters for role playing games.
