From digital illustration, acrylic painting, and mixed media collage I explore a wide range of ideas and styles.  If you have any questions or interest in commissions please feel free to reach out so we can work together!

Mixed Media Collage: Using old prints or magazine clippings and mixed media left in piles of my studio really appeals to my pa dutch frugality. And it’s therapeutic, too.

Additionally, there is a hand pointing to an illustrated pointing finger.
