Ever since I can remember,
I have loved to draw, paint, doodle, sculpt and chickenscratch.
Since 1995 I have worked for Disneyland in Anaheim, California both as an artist for the Original Art Watch program, and as a character sketch artist for special events, doing Disney themed “how-to-draw” stage shows and intimate live appearances. I have also designed character-based collector’s pins for Disney Auctions.
I’ve done illustration for children’s books published by Golden Books and Bumpy Slide Books.
My work was included in the Society of Illustrators Student Scholarship Exhibition in both 2000 and 2001.
My paintings for Golden State Theater were used as posters and program art , and I worked for more than five years as a theatrical scenic artist, painting sets for live theater.
