Most of my inspiration has come from stories of Fantastical Lands, myths, legends, and dreams. Many of the works on this site show my passion for such imagery.
I didn't stop with paper and pencil. During highschool, I enrolled in every art class I could take. I learned the basics in how to paint with acrylic, watercolor, and oil. I started my digital art exploration as well through photoshop and Maya.
I pursued my undergraduate at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. There, I explored another medium of expression, film. It wasn't until my second year that my passion guided myself towards Animation.
After graduation in 2011, I returned to Chicago to work. It wasn't until a year ago I came to the realization that I should specialize what I exactly wanted to do with animation. I found a Masters program at DePaul University where I can progress myself further.
I'm seeking a career in which I can use my abilities as a multi-media artist.
