Inspired by the people and events around me, I create evocative illustrations and animated films that tell stories of reality and fantasy alike. With my reportage illustrations, I immortalize loved ones and strangers as they go about their day-to-day activities to document the beauty of seemingly simple moments. Through portraiture, I can capture a person or animal’s essence; their silly nature or their attitudes. When I want to create a fictional world that is all my own, I turn to animation, where I let my love for colors and creating stories take control.
