Results
I currently work and live as a freelancer visual artist/illustrator working mainly in the New York Metropolitan area. With more than 10 years in the business I have developed skills applicable to many areas of the illustration/art industry like magazines, news post, brands, children’s books, and fashion. As a visual artist I have had my works exhibited nationally and internationally. My technical skill has usefully expanded to the digital art field, bringing uplifting results to the companies I work for.
