I love fantasy, and more especially bringing it to life through my art. I grew up surrounded by art in Santa Fe and developed my skill through classes and self-dictated study. I drew inspiration from American comics, Japanese manga, fantasy books and movies. In addition to my love of fantasy, I greatly enjoy classic fairy tales from around the world as well as Japanese culture and aesthetics. Over many years I completed upwards 6 murals around Santa Fe with various groups, working as the Lead Artist in my last. From there I worked as a concept artist for a music school. Recently I've started attending Artist Alley at Comic and Anime conventions where I sell my art and take commissions. Thank you for taking a moment to look at my profile!
