CV/Publications

Are you looking for my graduate work in behavior genetics? You can find that CV here.

I approach my illustration work with a bachelor's degree in biology, which I earned in 2012. Outside of a sporadic handful of elective art courses in college, the majority of my artistic training is self-taught.

I interned for the New Jersey Audubon Society in summer of 2012, where I learned to do scientific bird point-counts, and created a set of bird identification trading cards for children.

Beginning around 2006, my work has been published and commissioned by a variety of media and institutions, including the following:
