I have a background in art history, classical techniques, English literature and political science, and my work incorporates all of these elements.
I have aspired to create art since the day my military father sat me down at the table to teach me how to draw. He wouldn't let me leave the table until the perspective was correct.
I draw inspiration from sci-fi, fantasy, politics, the news, biology, geology, astrology, literature, movies, video games and everything bizarre.
