A little bit about me:

Photo by Rodrigo DeMedieros, August 2010

Hello and thank you for visiting my page!

I am a visual artist, writer and animator currently living in south west London (for the remainder of 2010). My home base is Seattle, WA.

As an artist I focus primarily on the human form and always try to incorporate a strong sense of narrative to my work. I want each image I create to have a story book feel to it that draws the viewer into a different world. I often use animals and magical elements in my paintings and try to explore the relationship we have to nature and the sublime.

I am a bit promiscuous as an artist and often venture into film, animation and the writing of fiction.

I am always interested in new collaborations, commissions and exhibition opportunities. Please send me an email with any questions or comments!

Here is a brief list of some of my recent and upcoming exhibitions, shows and projects:
