Illustration
My illustration style is a balance between attention to detail & painterly spontaneity. Mediums include watercolor, gouache, graphite, and my iPad Pro (digital art). My process includes: photographing and/or gathering reference material, digital editing, color sketches, and building the finished digital painting.

Cocktails & Color Sketches
The beauty of Mixology is captured in gouache, watercolor, and digital mediums. Attention to texture, reflective surfaces, glass, and fun garnishes.

Portrait Paintings
llustration research projects and portraits that capture emotionality and storytelling. The process consists of concept sketches, color sketches, digital editing, and using gouache/watercolor to render individual stories.
Several techniques were utilized to craft these finishes including airbrushing for smooth backgrounds, paintbrushes to render the figure, and transparent paint layering.
