I'm a passionate artist with a diverse background that has shaped my creative journey. Originally from Azle, TX, I served in the United States Marine Corps until my medical retirement. Despite facing challenges from developing a neuromuscular disease and multiple autoimmune disorders, my determination led me to pursue my artistic dreams. 

In 2018, I embarked on a transformative path at the Academy of Art University, initially focusing on Concept Art before transitioning to Visual Development and eventually settling into Illustration. My upcoming graduation with a BFA in Illustration marks a significant milestone in my artistic endeavors. 

My artworks have been showcased at the AAU Spring Show, reflecting my growth and dedication to the craft. Additionally, I successfully completed the Netflix Animation Foundations Program, further enhancing my skills and knowledge in the field. 

As an artist, I strive to create work that evokes thought and feeling. My goal is to encourage creativity by bridging the gap between The Arts in a way that is comprehensive, educational, and supportive.
