I am a visual artist and leather crafter who makes unique mixed media artwork and masquerade masks with scraps from previous leather projects and household odds & ends. I am a Steampunk enthusiast and try to incorporate a combination of the elegance from the Victorian era with an industrial look into my mixed media pieces. Although I get in-spiration for themes from around the world, I try to stay close to my Celtic roots through its folklore and designs. I use darker hues to set the tone of the vintage timeframe in my Steampunk themed work. Characters are portrayed with aged and weathered looking patinas, while backgrounds and inanimate objects are given more vibrant colors for contrast. Misfit and second-hand gilded frames are used to complete the aesthetics.
My paintings and sketches follow more with traditional academia. Much of my personal work is inspired from nature and memories from pivotal moments in my life.
