Simplicity in depth of Creativity
What inspires me as an illustrator, who works in acrylic, graphite and digital,
is a good story. Utilizing the skills acquired via my artistic journey helps
bring the essence of my client's vision to life. Rather, it could be historical,
Biblical, musical, or personal. This is achieved by boiling down the story into
the most concise visual statement possible.
“EXTENDED RANGE FOR EXTENDED IDEAS.”

Vision
Spiritual / Biblical
To attain a level of skill and understanding that the
biblical work the Holy Spirit gives me pierces the hearts
of those who look at it, that it may point them to God
and what Jesus Christ has done at the cross. That they
may know God is still alive, loves them, and they
become born again, knowing that God can make them free.
