Portraits

Creating reflective portraits of my favorite people (and dogs) is an intensive journey, but I'm honored to be able to produce these keepsakes. Here's some of my favorites, done traditionally, digitally, and sometimes both!

Self Portrait (2019)

Graphite pencils on bristol paper.

Abby (2021)

Watercolor, Procreate, & Photoshop.

Traditional

Some of my favorite traditional media include acrylic paint, gouache, pen & ink, and plain ol' graphite! We all begin with traditional media, and I firmly believe in the importance of having digital and traditional creative muscles.

Digital

I grew up (like many others now) scrolling through art forums and social media, coveting independent artists and their work, and admiring the quality of digital art. Now I've been working in a digital space

for years and couldn't imagine

my workflow without it!
