Hello!

Demo Reel

I'm a 2D digital artist based in the Southeast. My best works find strength in my use of color and creation of mood. I love horror and finding beauty in the run-down world we often overlook.

My goal is to branch into 2D game design and with prior experience in RPG Maker, I plan to work on my own small indie game in my down time

collections

Cal and Luci

A collection of two characters, Calypso, a girl trapped in an isolative, dream-like world that bends to her mood, and Luci, a male figure with the head of a dog who comes and goes from her world as he pleases. I use these characters to explore complex feelings about love and loneliness, as well as to experiment with different artistic techniques.

Story/world building

Concept art, illustration, comic, and animation all revolving around different narrative series I've created.
