ABOUT Me.

I am illustrator who lives and works in a green, tucked away corner of North Portland with my wife, 11 year old kid and a tiny dog that is just one click above a stuffed animal. After receiving my MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2002 and working as a gallery artist, muralist, painting and drawing teacher, and art conservator I realized that making books for children is really what I want to do when I grow up. The Golden String, published by Orange Hat Publishing is my debut author/illustrator book. Available everywhere books are sold!

My fine art can be found here.
