About me

I am a digital artist located in Cleveland, Ohio area. I create art utilizing the latest software to deliver high end, award winning content for my clients. I specialize in transforming raw images into pieces of art through compositing, color correcting, and digital painting.

My focus is on building relationships, making art, and having fun.  I am dedicated to making your creative vision become a full reality.

My interest in imaging started when I took apart my dad's camera as a kid to see how images were captured.  I was fascinated by a machine that could capture a moment in time, an image, a piece of art.  I started my career learning about cameras while working at local camera shop and spending my free time self-teaching Photoshop and art.  I concentrated on photo- illustration at American Greetings.  Next, I started at a high-end commercial studio as a Digital Artist working with clients such as Arhaus, J.M. Smuckers, Nestle, Moen, Vitamix, Kichler Lighting, Heinen's, Little Tikes, Sherwin Williams, Progressive and many more.  

My new adventure is independently offering services for compositing, color correcting, and digital painting.
