2021 Calendars
Looking ahead to 2021, I am putting more and more energy into trying to make it a better year for myself and for others.

With that thought, I am excited to announce that 2021 Calendars are now available for pre-order!

Project: Album Artwork for Emmy-nominated Choral Ensemble

The song, written by Martin Phipps, has also won the Royal Television Society Award for Best Original Title Soundtrack. I designed the album artwork (CD booklet & inlays) for the ensemble’s 2017 compilations album, “Victoriana”, which features…
Project: Cover Art for Steampunk Paranormal Romance Novel
