About The Artist

I was born and raised in southern Wisconsin where I developed a tremendous passion for nature and art. I currently reside in the Naperville, Illinois area and am President of the Plainfield, Illinois Art League. I recently achieved a Bachelor of Fine Art Degree with a Major in Illustration and emphasis in Scientific Illustration through Northern Illinois University. Previous to completion of this degree, I had obtained an Associate of Applied Science in Graphic Design through the Milwaukee Area Technical College. My career initially started with commercial and graphic design and eventually progressed to concentrating full time on fine art.
