I grew up in Missouri, but now call Oregon home. I received a BFA in Commercial Art with an emphasis in Illustration from the University of Central Missouri and have extensive experience illustrating and designing for the consumer packaging industry. I have created editorial cartoons and cover designs for various publications including The Kansas City Pitch, St. Louis Riverfront Times, Denver Westword, Syracuse Newtimes, and the Bend Source Weekly. I have exhibited at several fine art gallery exhibitions, including the Kansas City Open Studios and most recently at the annual Beaverton Arts Mix Exhibition. In my spare time I like to enjoy the beauty of the Pacific Northwest by bicycling, hiking, camping and sketching the amazing natural beauty I am surrounded by each day.
