Art instructor and animation and gaming concept artist with over 25 years of professional experience specializing in animation, concept design, drawing and painting. I have worked in virtually every area of the animation/gaming production pipeline including storyboarding, concept design, layout, background design and art direction. Since late 2018 I have shifted my focus to full time teaching.
