I began pursuing digital art as a career in 2006. I found my passion for computer graphics while attending Ex’pression Collage for Digital Arts. I am now an Environment Artist / CG generalist. I like to keep my art skills varied so I can adapt to styles quickly. I practice on a daily basis 3D skills such as modeling, texturing, rendering, lighting, rigging, and animation. I also pay attention to physical mediums such as drawing, painting, and photography. It’s important for me as an artist to step away from the computer frequently and observe the real world. My main focus in 3D is building environments, but I thoroughly enjoy working on any level of 3D.
Since I graduated in March 2008, I have had the opportunity to work on five shipped products, two films, two games, and two website. I worked with Electronic Arts for two critically acclaimed video games Deadspace and Godfather 2. After EA, I went to a small movie FX house called Assemble. I also do web design on the side.
I have been fortunate to work on a variety of products wearing many different hats. I enjoy learning new things and keeping the work fresh. I plan on making my own short film after learning the ropes of the industry.
When it's not all computers and technology, I spend time with my family and friends, hike, enjoy wine and the out-doors!
Thanks for stopping by, I update all the time so check back frequently!
