With a deep passion for blending art and technical sciences, my career began in the early to mid-1990s, where I immersed myself in airbrushing techniques and the disciplines of architectural and mechanical engineering. This formative period allowed me to learn traditional airbrush art and drafting, establishing a foundation of precision and creativity.

During my collegiate studies, I discovered Albinus on Anatomy, which sparked my fascination with pen-and-ink techniques and anatomical illustration. A transformative summer illustration course gave me the opportunity to focus exclusively on reproducing intricate pen-and-ink anatomical studies. This experience refined my skills in color theory, painting, and detailed line art, inspiring a shift in focus from rigid mechanical forms to the organic elegance of human anatomy.

After earning a Bachelor of Arts with a concentration in Art and Multimedia, I advanced my expertise by pursuing a Master of Science in Biomedical Visualization at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Preparing for this highly competitive program required over two years of additional rigorous coursework in anatomy, biology, microbiology, and other core sciences. Concurrently, I refined my artistic techniques through independent study and hands-on experience as an art studio assistant at Oakton Community College, where I supported studio setups and hosted open studio hours.

For the past 15 years, I have worked full-time in the medical-legal field, navigating a variety of roles across the industry. My experience spans sales, consulting, production art, and serving as Senior Illustrator and Associate Director. Throughout this period, I have created thousands of exhibits for trial and other media sources. I have also been privileged to act as the lead senior artist on some of the most high-profile, globally recognized cases at both state and federal levels and have been deposed as an expert in my field. Through these roles, I have worked on nearly all facets of production art and developed specialized expertise in forensic art, age progression, 3D digital doubles, surgical devices, 2D animation, anatomical manuals, charts, and surgical atlases.

I specialize in creating 2D and 3D medical and medical-legal illustrations that have been widely utilized in trials, mediations, and expert depositions. My work has been prominently featured in medical and anatomical atlases, journals, and other publications, showcasing visually engaging and scientifically accurate animations and illustrations. Additionally, I have advanced skills in interpreting radiology imaging across multiple modalities, enabling precise visualization and detailed rendering of complex anatomical structures.

Today, I collaborate with a diverse range of clients, including attorneys, publishers, physicians, surgeons, medical device manufacturers, researchers, and investors. The dynamic nature of my field allows me to seamlessly transition from illustrating intricate surgical procedures to animating molecular-level interactions.

Building strong, lasting relationships with clients worldwide is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work. If you’d like to learn more or explore ways we might collaborate, I’d love the opportunity to connect. Cheers!
