I am a full-time illustrator and part-time technology literacy sensei at Wood River Public Library, 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 I began synthesizing a creative practice focused in drawing and computer graphics, and where my interdisciplinary research expanded into comparative literature and media studies. I have five years of accumulative experience teaching university level courses in drawing, design, digital media, animation, and art history. I have also delivered numerous workshops, moderated panel discussions, and lecture demonstrations on techniques of digital painting, character illustration, environment design, storyboarding, and creative writing. The work I do now specializes in art and writing for comics and zines, and my scholarship continues to analyze the transnational history, visual language, and philosophy of cyberpunk literature and media. Through my position at the library, I am also exploring progressive ways of applying perceptual intelligence to increase computer fluency and information competency for users within the community. In my free time, I enjoy collecting physical media, reading science fiction, and creating characters for role playing games as well as sharing my passion for visual communication with others.
