Between the world of men and transcendent divinity there exists art. Art is the will to truth made physically manifest. It is more real then Reality. It is a dialogue triumphant over Time. – Andre Malraux

Unicorn's Frolic

This illustration was a private commission from a client who wanted a unicorn painting.  What I loved most about this piece was that I got to illustrate both a mythological creature and a forest scene, which I had never done before.  I also loved doing the research for this one.

Auguste Coronne Bust

In 2011, my Drawing I class went  to the Blanton Art Museum located at the University of Texas campus.  We spent a few hours in the sculpture gallery to do figure drawing.  I have a passion for ancient history, particularly Greek, Roman, and Egyptian history, so this was my favorite part of the field trip that day.
