As a concept illustrator my focus is on realistic yet imaginative hand-rendered architectural and botanical drawing. My goal is to help provide you with a clean, articulate yet humanizing foundation for your project no matter how humble or grandiose. Whether it’s for a project proposal, editorial, marketing campaign or bringing a blueprint-schematics to life I can help you develop a look and feel that best communicates your ideas that will get your project funded and completed. Lets expand our thinking together! My clients have included the National Aquarium, The New School, NYC, The National Children's Museum, PwC and Wallpaper*, among others. Architectural illustration has been my career for the past 15 years and I love what I do. It has been a joy to be able to bring my studio art expertise into a collaborative realm. My attention to detail has been at least partially influenced by my 10yr stint meticulously restoring vintage turn-of-the-century posters.

I'm an interdisciplinary artist, earth activist, educator & clinical herbalist cultivating a 0.7 acre herb sanctuary in Northeast Baltimore. In addition to a Master of Fine Arts I have also received advanced training in traditional herbalism, certificate training in permaculture, Amazonian indigenous plant medicine, straw bale & adobe building & green roof construction which continue to inspire my work. In 2004 I co-founded Current Space, an artist-run community art gallery. From 2002 to 2007 I worked on and visited multiple straw bale buildings and other alternative construction projects which have become the roots and focus of the work I do today. I am passionately dedicated to endeavors that promote ecological literacy and work in environmental mutualism with all living beings.
My art practice has always been about how conventional forms of building and convenience keep us compartmentalized within a dangerously abstracted relationship with nature and our own bodies. I am concerned with how manufactured landscapes have shaped and influenced our internal and external ecosystems & how that has, for better or worse, shaped our existence with non-human life & ultimately ourselves. My drawings of imaginary structures deconstruct how we engage with industrialized spaces and seek to inspire societal shifts toward green building, biophilic design, permaculture, biomimicry and indigenous practices of land stewardship. The overlapping structures depict these relationships in intersecting or deviating lines between protection, dominion and symbiosis.

I look forward to hearing about your project!
