About Me

       Raised in rural areas of the Shenandoah Valley, I was inspired by the folklore of Appalachia and Virginia myths. They inform much of my work in creature design and comic storytelling. 

       I studied formal drawing and composition for my Illustration degree, with many of my projects focused in horror elements. I hold a love for horror films that continued with my studies of international film and movie history. Alien and other cosmic horror are keystones to most of my work, inspiring my personal themes in my writing and art.

       When I'm not working on a freelance project, I spend my time hiking, camping, and finding inspiration in haunted corners of Virginia.
