Summary
I am an artist and writer who creates narrative driven artwork—story rich illustrations that I will, eventually, incorporate into novels. I currently live in the ye ol’ land of freezing lakes, Minnesota.
I define myself by the work I create—stories that explore resilience, nature, and the endless array of human emotions. My work has always been rooted in the realms of fantasy. Inspired by folk and fairy tales from around the world, mythology from various civilizations and countries, and the endless wonder that is nature, I have spent my life crafting worlds and characters into stories that resonate with people from different walks of life.
That being said, I also love to draw glowy sparkle and cute critters. They are very fun.
