“Chris, I am delighted it has worked out for you to do some work for Galison Books! The artwork is beautiful. I know it will translate well to a holiday card for our Holiday catalog.”

Detail, dedication, and love of the craft are what best describe my approach to illustration—traditional drawings executed with pencils, pens, and a strong eye for design and composition. I have illustrated a range of subjects for book publishing, editorial, and educational purposes and accept portrait commissions as requested. In an increasingly “digital” and automated world, I keep an authentic handcraft alive by producing real art that you can touch and hold.
