ABOUT
I am an illustrator, fine artist, and educator living and working in Boston, MA. I primarily work in acrylics or digitally and inspired by observed surroundings and stories, the natural world, Northern Renaissance Art, and miscellanies things I find entertaining. I have experience in editorial, book cover, package design, advertisement, and fine art illustration.
I currently teach in the Illustration Department at Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
I am represented by Richard Solomon Artist Representatives
