A little about myself;
I'm a fourth generation California native, born in Newport Beach in 1967. I've lived in Huntington Beach, the Eastern Sierras, Reno, and Sacramento, Berkeley, China, France, and currently reside in Oakland. My lifelong passion of the arts, nature, and the sciences guided me to peruse a career in the animation and entertainment industry where I've been creating award winning content for over 25 years.
My personal work usually focuses on natural subjects or fantasy portraiture based on Medieval design principals. My current work takes a hard turn towards experimental abstract design. My thought process for my latest work is based on how the “micro” world makes up the lager “macro” subject, like the tiny printed dots of a newspaper or magazine photo combine to make a final image. “From subatomic particles to the expanse of the known universe, there are similarities of structure and patterns that create the world around us. The Powers of Ten. The fabric of life.”
My current work is created using digital art programs and printed with the latest archival processes. I also works with various traditional mediums like; watercolor, gouache, pastel, ink, acrylic, and photography. I hope to post some of my traditional work to my store in the coming future.
My professional experience includes feature animated films, animated television shows, video games, pharmaceutical previsualizations, and theme park production. Some of the studios I've had the honor to work with: Pixar Animation Studios, PDI/DreamWorks, LucasArts, Electronic Arts/Maxis, Atari Games, and Walt Disney Imagineering.
I attended California Institute of the Arts, Film/Video Character Animation program from 1985-89.
