It hasn't been easy, and at times downright terrifying. But I do firmly believe that if you somehow keep going, surround yourself with people that want you to succeed and above all believe that you simply can, that anything is possible.
I was contacted by Kathleen Ortiz to work on a possible freelance opportunity last month. I was thrilled at even the consideration and was quickly thrown into one of the best experiences of my life. I was introduced to Dawn Rae Miller and her wonderful world of LARKSTORM, and given the opportunity to do what I could to make her beautiful story shine.
It was most certainly a test in faith, for they took a chance on picking me. While I might have a decent portfolio, I don't have a wealth of experience like so many others. I am humbled by their trust, and forever grateful for their friendship. I know this is just the beginning for me on my quest to make it in this world as an artist, and I am so honored and truly excited to share with you my first book cover for the upcoming YA novel LARKSTORM by the brilliant Dawn Rae Miller.

Congratulations again on a beautiful cover, and surely the first of many.
I know what you mean about the years after college, but with covers like that, I'm sure you have nothing to worry about. Great work.
Beautiful cover! As soon as I came across it on a book blog I had to check the book out so job well done!
I love your style. I'm might be self-publishing in the (distant) future, and I'm definitely keeping your name for reference in case you're still doing freelance at that time!
I write YA, but I don't like the photographic cover trend of late. Definitely digging this stylized look.
Awesome work, really.
I keep saying this, but it's GORGEOUS.
