Artist Statement Born in Davenport Iowa and raised in Southern California. I took an interest in art at young age while watching my dad draw and paint. On weekends we'd sit side by side and draw together. Naturally, I felt that art would always be a part of my life.
I began working for Garner Holt Productions, an animatronics company, at the age of 20, where I cultivated sculpting and painting skills. I had fantastic mentors who taught me how to use an airbrush and paint characters. Eventually I would lead the paint department, painting characters and scenery for a variety of interesting clients all around the world including Disney, Universal, Dreamworks, Knott's, Lotte World, Nike, the U.S. government, Chuck E. Cheese's, etc... While working there full time I also did side work on a few movies, tv shows and commercials, became a tattoo artist for a few years, and did private commissions.
After 13 years at GHP, in 2015 I resigned my full time position and sold my house in order to pursue my other passion, travel. These days I travel part time and return home to work at GHP from time to time. While on the road I carry a laptop and a Wacom tablet, or an IPad, and paint digitally. I enjoy messing with a variety of styles and subject matter but these days much of my work is based on inspiration from my travels. I hope you enjoy it!
