Traditional Landscape Painting
As an award-winning landscape painter I understand how to use light, composition,
values and color to tell a believable, emotional story.

Traditional art development while working with the group editor at IDW. Most of my ideation work is done digitally focusing on lighting and color which offers editors a much stronger sense of the story and drama of a piece vs pencil thumbs. Final paintings are typically finished in oil for an authentic painterly feel.
