I was born in Maine in 1964, but later moved with my family to Mississippi, where I currently reside with my wife, Julie, and my son, Joseph. Since March of 1988, I have worked at the Mississippi State Entomological Museum as a scientific illustrator/assistant curator. My artwork ranges from illustrations of beetles to strange surrealistic landscapes depicting worlds found only in my mind. My themes tend to be many-fold, but my true love revolves around the interrelationship of the environment and all forms of the animate and inanimate. I greatly enjoy playing with positive and negative space, the juxtaposition of seemingly unnatural elements, and filling an area with as much subconscious content as possible.
