My passion for art, which I believe is a true gift from God, has been a continuous journey of discovery and refinement for over 20 years. This path has led me to become a freelance artist, art instructor, and recently, an aspiring illustrator—a direction I feel truly guided towards. I'm deeply rooted in traditional art mediums and exploring digital art. My style primarily focuses on eclectic realism, driven by a deep appreciation for color, detail, and expression. I've built a strong foundation through extensive study and practice through commissioned art, teaching, and being a 'forever student'.

   I've worked closely with author Joshua Yoder on creating the cover art for his novel, The Black Horns, and I'm currently immersed in illustrating a children's picture book for upcoming author Linda Hlozansky as well as creating my own coloring book designs. I am focusing all my skills and creative perspective on this exciting new path of illustration, and trusting in God's leading!
