About Me
I’m a Canadian-based realist painter, illustrator, and multidisciplinary designer with a background in fine art and architectural design, and a lifelong obsession with cinema and the artistry behind it.
I create hand-drawn and traditionally painted alternative movie posters, capturing the character, atmosphere, and spirit of great films through a painterly lens.
I work with real materials simply because I love making things by hand. The brushstrokes, texture, imperfections, and evidence of the artist’s hand are all part of what makes a piece feel alive. In a world increasingly filled with digital imagery, I’m drawn to work that feels tangible, tactile, and unmistakably human.
At its heart, my artwork is about celebrating the films that stay with me, and connecting with the filmmakers and fans who give them their life beyond the screen.
If you like my style and see an opportunity to collaborate, I’d love to hear from you!

My Process
My traditional hand-painted illustration work is created on illustration board using acrylic paint and finished with a textural layer of coloured pencils.
The original painting is then photographed and imported into Photoshop. Depending on the piece, I may add a few digital layers or enhancements at the end to bring it to life, such as color-grading over the original painting to achieve a specific graphic effect. Titles and billing blocks are added as digital layers in the final step.
