I am an illustrator and art teacher. I live in Atlanta, Georgia. I normally work traditionally, but I also have skills with digital programs if needed. I love sci-fi and fantasy art. Some of my favorite illustrators are J.C. Leyendecker, Drew Struzan, Alphonse Mucha, Donato Giancola and Frank Frazetta. I also love comics and I have too many artists that I like, but I am a huge fan of Adam Hughes, Amanda Conner, Frank Cho, Stuart Immonen, J. Scott Campbell and Olivier Coipel just to name a few.

Thank you Peach! Yes it was important to keep the focus on the flower and not the background. I intentionally muted the colors in the background and saturated the color on the flower.
