As an adult, most of the work I’ve done has been in farming. I’ve been a poultry farmer, raised cattle, done small-scale vegetable farming, and worked as a butcher. While I enjoy farming and working with animals, my passion has always been art. Years ago, pre-rendered games like Myst and Riven sparked my interest in 3D graphics.
I am twenty-seven years old. I live and work in the mountains of southwest Virginia, surrounded by forest and wild animals.
I was born and raised in the California Bay Area and moved to rural Virginia with my family when I was fifteen.

While I enjoy farming and working with animals, my passion has always been art. Years ago, pre-rendered games like Myst and Riven sparked my interest in 3D graphics, and more recently Carrara and Blender have given me an affordable way to pursue it. I started doing freelance graphics work last year, and I am slowly, but steadily, moving towards a career as an artist.
I am an avid reader and spend much of my spare time studying history and astronomy. I also do a lot of writing. For many years my hobby was making and modding computer games. I have always wanted to publish an indie game, but until recently my art skills weren’t quite up to the challenge. Game making is something I hope to revisit in the near future.
I have two pets – a Plott Hound named Boo, and a Black Angus/Jersey cow named Caffie.
