BACKGROUND
I’m a visual multimedia artist working in both digital and traditional illustration.
I hold a BFA in Digital Art from Metropolitan State University of Denver and a minor in Psychology. I’m finishing up an MFA in Religious Studies at University of Denver. I’ve worked in art galleries, in event design building stage props, as a muralist, and have taught high school art.
In 2020 I Kickstarted and self-published The Illuminated Tweets of Elon Musk coloring book.
