My journey from commercial artist to fine artist has been heavily influenced by my early years as an artist for Disney. The line-work learned in that position has been an integral part of my work. I now look to the natural world for inspiration. Looking at the world around me through the confined lens of the camera is sometimes the first step to a work, sometimes the final step. Often a small object in nature holds great detail and richness, and through the lens or the brush, can be brought to the forefront. My goal is to find those things in nature that stop me in my tracks, and translate them into works which portray to others what I see.
