Born out of a deeply Scandinavian heritage of Danish and Norwegian descent, I grew in the light of conservation and respect for the natural resources around me. My grandparents taught me to love the earth and to never stop learning from it. In later years I would travel the West in search of larger measures of firmament, but I have always found my way back home.
As a graphic illustrator by nature, I draw from as many elements as possible, and as much as possible. The ability to create is the greatest use of the human mind. I have been developing my style through years of inspiration from nature.
Originally a fine artist studying at the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design in Denver, Colorado, I took my illustration a step further in introducing it to the digital realm while receiving my graphic design degree in Portland, Oregon. Using personal photography and traditional wet and dry media, I have merged all I know into realms of pixels and gamma. My interests lie heavily within the kingdoms of fauna and flora, forging them into images of natural history, folk art, fantasy, and the surreal.
