He has done some indie small press comics, storyboards and design work previously. For over ten years in Middlebury, he has done t-shirt and flyer art for the local fencing club he competes in. He’s inspired by old school illustrators such as Frank Frazetta, Katsuhiro Otomo, Yosh*taka Amano, Gustave Dore, but also contemporary artists like the late Kim Jung Gi, Katsuya Terada, Guy Davis and such.

She’s just constantly amazed and inspired by the multitude of talent in this small state. When she’s not painting she enjoys being outside in her garden attempting to turn her brown thumb green and she’s looking forward to winter and cold dips in the local rivers and lakes. Some of her past projects include Illustrations for Ploughgate Creamery as well as art for Mount Holly Beer Co. and most recently the cover of Addison County Food & Farm Guide 2023!
