CLIENT DESIGN & ILLUSTRATION

I consider myself an observer first, and artist second (if at all). I view illustration and design as a way to tell the stories that I find compelling, and I value opportunities where I can speak with folks about the things they feel passionately about. In an increasingly rapid world, I view my role as an illustrator as a way to translate your experience and expertise into an image that will stoke people's curiosity.

While my primary focus is detailed ink naturalist illustrations, I like to let the project guide the direction of the final product, and I'm comfortable working in whatever medium best serves that end. I like to tell stories - of craft, regional folk memories, and our natural surroundings - through illustration and design that reflect what you're stoked on. If you have a story you'd like to tell, I'd like to help you.

Virginia Museum of contemporary art

Nourish Exhibition, 2020

I participated in the Virginia MOCA's 2020 Nourish exhibit, where I was paired with horticulturist Yolima Carr of the Elizabeth River Project. Together we envisioned an outdoor garden installation on the grounds of Virginia MOCA that invited visitors to consider native and restorative species.

In December of 2020, Carr worked with the City of Virginia Beach Landscape Management Division to plant 15 native herbs and pollinator plants on the museum grounds in key locations. As the plants and herbs began to bloom, the life on the grounds interacted with largescale illustrations of bees and native plants and helped visitors become more connected with the flora and fauna of our region.
