with hand-made illustrations that enrich personable storytelling.
As an illustrator& As an illustrator& writer, graphic reporter, artist I stimulate curiosity, and invite the viewer to delight in a new perspective. Much of my inspiration is drawn from on-location sketching and non-fiction narratives and reporting, which I capture in lively, hand-drawn, cut, or painted images using both traditional and digital mediums.
I also enjoy teaching classes and making custom art, be it a birth announcement, location commission, community art piece, or steel business sign, even scribing to capture a live event!
With additional years’ experience in journalism and creative strategy, I can also provide the expertise to build your narrative concept into an engaging, fully-packaged content experience.
Originally from the Pacific Northwest of the United States, I've lived and worked in the Netherlands for over a decade. I make dynamic, lively pieces with rich colors and textures that capture energy, and often information. I work both digitally and traditionally in the genres of non-fiction, reportage, memoir, children's literature, and 3D illustration. I'm open to personal commissions, assignments, and collaborations.Â
My parallel profession is creative strategy (which is to say: you can trust me on a deadline and this ain't my first rodeo), en ik kan ook nederlands met je praten als je dat leuk vindt.Â
