Ever since I was a little kid growing up in Rhode Island I have always used my imagination to draw fantastical creatures and people (epecially dragons!). When I was a sophmore in high school I took my first art class, which aslo happened to be the year Lord of the Rings the Fellowship of the Ring entered theaters. Those two events propelled me on a path that I have never looked back on, the path to becoming a fulltime fantasy/science fiction Illustrator. I went to and graduated from Pratt in 2008 with a degree in Illustration and since then I have been honing my craft and rising up the ranks of the daunting and competitive freelance illustration field. Currently I live and work in Brooklyn New York
