As a freelance creative I specialize in various forms of visual development ranging from concept art to book illustration, I also exhibit work throughout the US.  I've illustrated books such as DomestiCATed: Paths Once Crossed, Small Wonders, and currently a documentary style graphic novel entitled What Follows Is True…Crescent: The Baker Years that chronicles the Norman Baker years (1938-1939) of the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas.
