I completed my Master's of Fine Arts in Illustration from the Academy of Art University, San Francisco in the spring of 2019 and my Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Drawing in 2005. I joined the U.S. Army, was commissioned as an Officer and in 2007  deployed for fourteen months to Iraq in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. After almost nine years of active duty military service, I'm now pursuing my passion of art full time. 

I've illustrated "Whitlee's Magical Adventure" by Corinda Watson

Ghost Text" by James Barnes and "Dani's Perfect Date" by Jennifer Lewis.

My work can be seen in the The Agora Borealis in Shreveport, LA, and the newly opened Bon Lagniappe located at 750 Pierremont Rd, Shreveport, LA.  

 If you'd like to purchase my work, I have several items for sale in the shop section in addition to Etsy, Society6, RedBubble and Zazzle. (Links below)
