I have always been driven by my passion for art and sports. This inspired me to put the two together. As a university student, I began drawing primarily hockey players. Having the advantage of working within the Edmonton Oilers arena, I soon found ways of getting autographs on the pieces. The stories that grew from these initial encounters fueled my desire to get better.
Improving my technique I was soon asked by friends and family to draw portraits for them, many of which were not of famous people in any way. I found myself drawn into the emotions of the portraits and the joy it brought to all parties involved. For this reason I am expanding my work and my business, offering you the opportunity to request your own commission portrait.
To see a sampling of my work, check out the gallery of pieces I have completed for myself, family, and friends.
