Welcome!
October 26th, 2012
How lovely to see you! Welcome to my wonderful new website where I’m trying to give the best illustration of my illustration skills that I can. I’ve had a passion for drawing ever since I can remember and the pieces here are just a few of my favorites that I’ve been working on for the past several years.
So far, I have a few of my running projects posted. The Watertower is a paper written at the University of Vermont that features a quirky combination of opinion, satirical, political, fashion and general life-in-Burlington pieces. The paper still uses all hand drawn illustrations and it’s a treat to see what kind of piece I get to illustrate each week.
I also have my ongoing Alice Project, which has loads of new material to follow. The project started about two years ago when I found a blank book with an Alice in Wonderland illustration on the cover. Inspired by the multitude of characters and fantastical vignettes found in the works of Lewis Carroll, I decided to fill the book with different styles of Alice illustrations. I try to make each drawing different by using various styles, pens and times. I make a point not to do any sketches in advance so that the drawings are kept loose and whimsical.
I am also currently taking a wonderful figure drawing class at the University of Vermont. The human form has always been one of my favorite subjects to draw and I’ve been loving the class. Once again, lots of good stuff to come!
As I’ve mentioned, this site is a work in progress so please be patient as we upload images and text and try to figure out the formatting. The computer world is not my natural habitat and I’m much more comfortable with a pen and paper than a laptop. I hope you enjoy the site and any constructive comments, questions or concerns are music to my ears!
