I am an illustrator and educator. ​

 

Through children’s books and art education, my work will influence the young generations’ lessons and fantasies. The ways in which I have understood my world will feed others’ perspectives, and then be passed down among families. ​

​

My visual messages and narratives will form and mold young minds, positively impacting society.

 

I strive for my work to express my vision. I am not merely drawing, painting, or instructing; instead, I am exercising powerful visual language. In addition, integrity is forever present in my vision and what I illustrate and teach. I am an honest illustrator and educator, ever conscious of and judicious with my work’s psychological and social effects on viewers: children and adults, alike.

 

Because…

​

We are so often negatively influenced by manipulative media.​

Consumer culture inundates us with visual and verbal subconscious messages, and an overwhelming amount of them are harmful, demeaning, unnerving, and flat out wrong.

 

My personal brand of visual communication can innovate media’s molding of society.

 

As an illustrator and educator, I have the power to improve the quality of published and projected images. Through my work, I want to revolutionize the way we, as human beings, currently see the world and ourselves.

 

I have the power to manipulate people through illustration, but ​

I choose to use this power to educate and to tell truths.
