About the Artist

I'm an animation artist trained in the traditional hand-drawn style of cartooning.

After four years at the Chouinard Art Institute, I was lucky enough to be hired at the Walt Disney Studio in Burbank as an inbetweener. 

I worked with some of the great animators of the time and filled in drawings to complete their scenes on 'Jungle Book' and 'Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day'. When those projects were finished, I went on to television production at Filmation Studios (He-Man, The Archie's, Star Trek, and others), MGM (Pink Panther), Universal Studios (Earthworm Jim), and The Cartoon Network (Cow and Chicken and I Am Weasel), and many more.

After working exclusively with a pencil for so long, in 1998 I decided to try my hand at painting, and have been at it ever since. I like to experiment with different styles and media, including watercolor, acrylic, and oils. Some of my paintings are cartoons, and some are landscapes and urban scenes in the impressionist style. I have been evolving as an artist and enjoy the learning experience of it all.

I am a member of:   The Animation Guild, Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, Roseville Arts, Placer Arts, and the American Impressionist Society
