I’ve been drawing since I was a kid—first cartoons, then people who didn’t know I was sketching them. My path has wound through airbrushing, special effects makeup, indie films, and on projects like The Conjuring and Annabelle. Along the way I’ve also worked in construction and renovated my own homes, learning how to shape spaces with my hands. After leaving that life behind and rebuilding from trauma, I found my way back to myself through creating resource pieces—animal spirits shaped from raw materials, offering the same comfort and meaning I once needed, now for those who feel called to them.
