I'm a visual artist currenting residing in Portland, Oregon. I create work in a style I call Folk Surrealism using a combination of ink, gouache, and watercolor on paper. My style includes many bright colors, detailed patterns, and creatures of all sorts.

For CustomMade, my focus is on custom portraiture. I started drawing portraits a few years ago as part of a successful crowdsourcing campaign. Since drawing all of the portraits for my contributors, portrait illustration has become a large part of my artistic practice in business.

Outside portrait painting my work explores more themes such as femininity, violence, and mysticism. My work has a strong narrative drive which carries through each piece by a very thin thread.
