As an artist, I am continually drawn to the luminous era of American illustration, a period that exudes timeless elegance and narrative depth. Inspired by the evocative storytelling and meticulous craftsmanship of this golden age, I find myself embarking on a creative journey that pays homage to the masters who pioneered this art form. Names such as Norman Rockwell, NC Wyeth, Howard Pyle and Dean Cornwell. Their ability to capture the essence of a moment, to transport viewers to fantastical realms, fuels my passion for visual storytelling.

In my pursuit of artistic expression, I have found resonance in the techniques of photo-realism, where every brushstroke is imbued with intention and every detail meticulously rendered. This dedication to precision allows me to bridge the gap between reality and imagination, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the setting that I am trying to create. Using the ideas and methodologies of such artists as Rod Penner and Richard Estes, my dedication to structure and a certain realism allows the more fantastic elements to be understood and believable. My art also owes a debt to that most American of art forms, comic books. Artists such as Jim Lee, Adam Hughes and Arthur Adams imbue the line and brush work of my pieces with a certain illustrative quality, one that I enjoy immensely.

Moreover, my love for cinema serves as a guiding force in my artistic journey, as I draw inspiration from the drama and visual splendor of film. It is a profound honor to follow in the footsteps of the countless artists such as Drew Struzan, Bob Peak and Richard Amsel who have shaped the cinematic landscape, infusing their work with depth, nuance, and enduring beauty. As I continue to explore the intersection of art and cinema, I strive to create immersive experiences that resonate with audiences on a visceral level, paying tribute to the transformative power of storytelling.
