Hi there! I’m a visual development artist specializing in color keys whose work lives at the intersection of fine art and animation. With a background rooted in painting from life, I strive to bring a painter's eye for light, atmosphere, and color to the screen through color scripting and art direction for animated films.

I currently work at Sony Pictures Animation. Past clients include Warner Bros, Premise Entertainment, Titmouse, Marvel Studios, and Cartoon Saloon. I was also among the painter-animators selected for Loving Vincent, the Oscar-nominated animated feature painted entirely in oils in the style of Van Gogh. I spent six months in Gdansk, Poland working alongside 125 artists from around the world, personally animating six scenes of the film.

My observational painting practice remains central to my work. As one of the youngest members of Plein Air Painters of America (PAPA), I've exhibited my gouache landscapes in the California Art Club Gold Medal Exhibition Shows and been featured in Plein Air Magazine and The Artist's Guide Magazine, among others.

Aside from collaborating with amazing people in animation, one of my biggest passions is teaching. Since 2019, I have mentored over 200 students from all around the world in gouache and digital painting, through my own courses and mentorships. You can find everything I teach in the "Learn With Me" tab above.
