My painting adventure began in 2015. After spending over a decade as a full-time CG animator, I’ve made a career out of telling stories through motion and time, but with painting I can capture a single moment. Working with oil and gouache paint, I focus on scenes of city life from the hustle-bustle, to the quiet and intimate.
I’m mainly a self-taught painter, but have benefited greatly from the guidance of my partner Lindsey Kustusch and the help of other fellow painters I’ve met along the way.
