ABOUT Me.

I am originally a Chicago boy. Grew up there, got married there, received an MFA in painting from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and eventually had a kid there! We transplanted to lovely Portland, Oregon in 2017 to be able to simply stumble into nature. And we’re loving it. I cut my teeth in old school art departments doing key line and paste-up, in printshops pulling lithographs, grinding stones and polishing copper plates, on delivery routes, painting houses, teaching kids and adults of many stripes, freelancing, muraling, exhibiting, and fixing broken art. 

I've worked hard for over 30 years to develop a deft, varied, and disciplined hand and I pride myself being able to be flexible, open to collaboration and focused on deadlines with clear communication. 

Count on me for your graphic novel, picture book and editorial illustration needs.
