Infected By Art Book - Volume 4

Through most of my childhood you could find me adventuring around the woods behind my house, drawing mermaids and fairies, or curled up next to one of my parents as they read aloud everything from Ronald Dahl, C.S. Lewis, and Philip Pullman. Since there was always a paintbrush or a pencil in my hand, it was never questioned what I was going to do as an adult. Painting and drawing the fantasy stories I grew up with was as much a part of me as breathing was. It was this early exposure to fantasy that profoundly shaped who I am today. I attended The Art Institute of Boston with the intent to major in animation, but realized that I loved designing characters and their environments much more than the repetitive sketching that animation required. So I put all of my time and effort into the illustration department at AIB, and graduated magna cum-laude with a BFA in Illustration.  Currently, I spend most of my time painting fantasy book covers and images for card games. All of my work is painted traditionally in oil on illustration board. My work has appeared in multiple volumes of Spectrum: The Best in Fantastic Contemporary Art, and some of my clients include Wizards of the Coast, Penguin Books, Audible.com, and Science Fiction Book Club.
