Graphic Earth tones

Working on backgrounds and "still life." These pieces are stylized and intended to be more graphic and based on a specific color palette. I chose earth tone, which is my personal favorite for much of my work. These pieces were a lot of fun to create. This style is something that I plan on continuing.

Misc. Projects

Some pieces that I had not put up yet. Carriage is for a project I had been working on awhile back. The polar bear illustration is an idea I had been playing with. I wanted to create folk story book, but based on my own characters. It would draw inspiration from world folk stories. The polar idea came from the Norwegian folktale about King Valemon.In brief, the story is about a prince who is transformed into the King of polar bears by a witch. To break the spell, he must find a princess who will love him.

Art Nouveau

Playing with new styles in and genres. Im deeply influenced by the arts and craft period of the 20th century. The art nouveau period is also of great interest to me. The style and design are elegant and full of fantastic detail.
