I'd love to learn about your project
I have worked across a wide range of fields and always bring the same enthusiasm and professionalism to every project. See a sample of my work below and view client testimonials on my contact page. Also visit my page highlighting the work I did during my residency at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.
My work includes a wide range of projects in various fields and industries. I approach every project with the same enthusiasm, professionalism and attention to detail. If you have a project you would like to discuss with me please see my contact page to get in touch with me!
Earth, Sky + Water
In 2023, I was contacted by the founder of Earth, Sky + Water, a greeting card and folding guide company based in New Hampshire. Earth, Sky + Water features realistic nature-based art for their suite of products.
I was contracted to create seven images to be used for greeting cards and boxed notecard sets with the potential for more!
My goal is to highlight native plant species that support our local ecosystems, including all of the birds I love. I started with an Eastern Bluebird with Pokeweed and a House Finch with Flowering Crabapple. Stay tuned to see the next five paintings!

Bird Pox
I worked with Sabrina McNew to create digital illustrations of the symptoms of bird pox. She requested images of a foot, both without pox and with pox, and a full Northern Mockingbird.
These are digital paintings created in Adobe Photoshop.
Mythical
In 2023, I was contacted by Mythical Entertainment to create illustrations for an upcoming cookbook to be released in 2024.
The book includes recipes from the popular Youtube series "Good Morning Mythical" including from the "Will it Taco" segment.
These illustrations were done in watercolor. I created original sketches based on the project specs, made all necessary changes after rounds of feedback then scanned and cleaned all the artwork to create print ready digital assets.
Buoy
I worked as a freelance medical illustrator for Buoy Health, an online symptom checker and diagnostics platform driven by artificial intelligence.
I created original artwork to accompany articles detailing symptoms, causes and possible treatments for various illnesses and syndromes.
I worked directly with the art director creating medically accurate illustrations with the help of the Buoy medical team.
This gallery represents a selection of pieces from this project.
New York Botanical Garden
I worked on a book project with Dr. Kate Armstrong at the New York Botanical Garden on the subject of Medicinal Flora of Myanmar. I worked with Dr. Armstrong to create image plates as well as create original scientific illustrations to accompany species for which photographs are unavailable.
Glority Software
I worked as a freelance botanical illustrator for Glority Software to create nearly 40 original watercolor paintings to be used for a printed planner/calendar. The calendar was available for purchase by users of Glority Software's App "Picture This" a plant identifying app. The planner was only available to users in China.
I worked directly with the art team in China to create the illustrations, which were all checked for accuracy.
The original Paintings are available for purchase in my shop.
Surgical Illustration
I worked with Dr. Christine Heisler and Dr. Ushma Patel to create illustrations of various anatomies and surgical techniques to be used in an upcoming publication. Dr. Heisler and Dr. Patel sent both photographic and illustrative references for me to use to create my illustrations. After completing the sketches and making any necessary changes, I created the final artwork using dip pen and ink.
I also worked with Dr. Bobby Garcia to create a series of illustrations of gynecological surgical techniques to accompany his thesis project for his residency.
Album Artwork
I have completed two album artwork projects. One for Party of the Sun featuring the mustard plant, and another for Ruby Sparks which included three different illustrations.
I was approached by the Ruby Sparks band to create original album artwork for his upcoming release.
The project consists of three separate images for two singles and the EP. After receiving a description of his artistic vision, I put together sketches for each piece. Once approved, I began work on the piece requiring the quickest turn around time.
The Party of the Sun artwork was created using a similar process.
San Francisco Orchid Society
I was asked by the Society to create a line of orchid themed cards to be sold as sets at their annual Pacific Orchid Exposition!
I made four original watercolor pieces which were then used to make the sets. These sets are also available for sale through my website!
I have now created two lines of Orchid Cards for the San Francisco Orchid Society for both their February and July Expositions.
Colored Pencil
For this long term project, I received a list of objects to be drawn which were then used in exams for children.
I completed two contracts with the company who contracted this work and it was always exciting to get the new list of drawing subjects! Through this job I was able to draw all kinds of animals, objects and characters I would have never have thought to draw myself.
After sending each batch of drawings, they were reviewed and I made any necessary changes or edits. I then scanned and cleaned all images to ensure they were ready for print.
Bobcat Diner
I completed twelve original graphite drawings based on menu items at the Bobcat Diner in California. I was responsible for the artwork, editing and layout of the menu.
I worked closely with the restaurant owner to create the exact images he had envisioned for his menus while working within the style that had already been set before I was added to the project.
This gallery includes the menu images as well as sample pages of the completed menu to display my illustrations and layout.
Entomology
Working closely with Dr. David Grimaldi, a researcher in entomology at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, I created scientific illustrations thermobia. These illustrations will be published in the next edition of this researcher's book.
These images were constructed first by using a camera lucida attachment on a microscope to capture the accurate proportions of the insect. I then created in habitus drawings from these proportions to create images that look as if the insect is alive. These initial drawings are now being rendered using the carbon dust technique on white color aid paper.
In a later project, I rendered over 40 plates of grayscale digital illustrations of fruit fly reproductive parts used as figures in an article published in the Bulletin for the American Museum of Natural History.
