Bio:

At a young age I knew I wanted to be an artist. My first job was a newspaper article illustration when I was nine years old, and I have continued creating, publishing, selling, and exhibiting my artwork since.

While attending the University of Wisconsin - Madison, I worked as a graphics editor, illustrator, and cartoonist for The Daily Cardinal student newspaper, and received my Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2005. I have continued exhibiting work and creating watercolors, greeting cards, and commissioned portraits.

I have been pursuing children's and greeting card illustration of late.
