About the Artist:

"I am a visual artist exploring the boundaries of modern landscape and portrait art. My work expresses my passionate engagement with living organisms and aims to study natural aesthetics of biological and urban environments. My art marries figurative and semi-abstract, personal and impersonal, flatness and volume, natural and artificial.

​As a painter, visual artist, designer, and art director with nearly two decades of experience, I provided art production and expertise to Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Condé Nast, Cosmopolitan, General Motors, Unilever, and many other household names around the world.

I live and work in Sausalito, California."
