CONCEPT Art

My recent work has been centered around filmic aesthetics. I put particular emphasis on composition, color, and story. I strive to straddle the line between simple and spectacle, making the scenes accomplishable on a range of budgets. I avoid excessive greebles and extravagant detail, and focus on the elements essential to telling an effective story.

Art Direction

I bring over 5 years of experience in art direction for games and animation, with more than 10 years of creative direction, leading and managing teams of artists and designers, providing constructive and actionable feedback, and fostering artistic growth through mentorship.

Fine Art

I work with acrylic, spray, and oil to create textured, visceral portraits. I’m interested in how paint behaves, emphasizing its resistance and unpredictability, its thickness, texture, and consistency. If painterliness is about visible brushstrokes, my work is “paintly”, focused on the paint itself. My process is discovery through disturbance, balancing intuition, precision, and chaos. I’m not chasing realism but accuracy. The figures may appear decayed, distorted, or half-formed, allowing emotion and image to emerge together.
