Virginia Beach, VA

Animals have personalities, emotions, and facial expressions that I feel like most people overlook. I try to capture the animals' personalities in my drawings. The eyes are my favorite part to draw because that makes or breaks the facial expression. I use colored pencils, no paint, so I can achieve extreme detail in my work with the brightest and widest variety of colors.

All my drawings have names and are either drawn from my own photos or completely made up. I’ve always loved going to zoos, aquariums, and museums growing up which is where I get most of my reference pictures. I get the rest of my reference pictures from around the nature parks in Virginia Beach, where I grew up, and then some other random places.

Because of this, my drawings are completely original and cause people to see animals in a unique perspective.
