About Me

I am an upcoming artist focusing on Character Art and Design. About a year and a half after college, my art job downsized and trying to get paid for my contract work on top of new work drying up, I took a hiatus from art when I went back into the non-art workforce. After nearly 10 years of overwork that left me too tired to work on anything art related, I finally had the chance to try again when I left that job. After taking some time to refresh my skills and learn how to simplify and find my style, I am ready to give it another go.
