I'm a full-time internet marketer living in Chicago, but in my free time I love to create mixed media art and hand-drawn patterned illustrations. I also love to travel and incorporate inspirations from my journeys into my work. Some of my favorite places that I've visited include the Middle East, South Africa, Peru, and South-East Asia. Themes from some or all of those places will frequently show up in my work, including a love of bright colors, traditional patterns, and handicrafts .
