Not a lot to say, folks.

I'm honored that you would take the time to look at my work. Hopefully you'll want to take a second look sometime.

Here's a little of the backstory, or at least the benign parts: I spent much of my life growing up on our family farm in Layton, Utah. Though I have traveled a bit, and doodled in many a great city, my greatest inspiration has always been the farm. Much of my subject matter, composition and design sensitivity (If you haven't noticed), are strongly rooted in the farmland.

My formal art education began when I studied for a year at the Scuole Internazionale di Grafica in Venice, Italy ('97). From there I studied art for two years at Weber State University, and then moved on to complete a BFA in Illustration at Brigham Young University ('03).

After a year of free-lancing, I realized that I couldn't paint, and went on to complete an MFA in Illustration/Fine Art at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco ('08). As you'll see in other sections of this site, my graduate thesis-The Barn Project- was pivotal for me and resulted in two large murals on the family farm which you can visit the next time you're in West Layton, UT. Buy some produce while you're at it.

Recently, my marvelous wife and I moved to New York, where I was blessed to begin working as a Color-Key Artist for Blue Sky animation studios (Ice Age, Horton Hears a Who). I basically do oil paintings on the computer.

Enjoy!
