commercial work

I work on commissioned projects of any size. I’ve done murals, set design, t-shirt art, portraits, and more. I bring my fine arts training to every piece I work on, along with my friendly demeanor and positive spirit. If you would like to work with me, please feel free to send me an e-mail with a description of the project and your preferred rate, and we can figure it out from there. I work best when I get to know you, so let’s get coffee and talk about what you’re dreaming up.

Live Drawing

As a member of my community first, you will often find me out in the world, drawing at events all across Seattle. I’ll pop open my easel on a street corner and just start painting. For me, it is important to keep the element of play in my artwork. I am always looking to evolve and grow through fun exploration and new environments. The Seattle Department of Transportation hired me to draw caricatures for an outside promotion event, and I also do this kind of live drawing at zoos, concerts, and more.
