With 23 years professional industry experience in Senior, Lead and Supervisor roles, I bring a passion for developing the look of CG characters, props and environments as a lifelong painter, sculptor and creator. My work as a Surfacing Artist spans feature films, commercials, episodics, animation, game and movie trailers, title sequences, music videos, VR, AR, print ads and 3D design. I've produced photoreal and highly stylized CG work including human and animal digital doubles, super heroes, monsters, insects, set extensions, vehicles and props, environments, clothing, hair, fur and feathers, iconic game, commercial and film characters, and award winning ad campaigns.
