​3D Environment Artist / Unreal / Matte Painter 

​

About


I love taking the time to explore new things.


In the past, I've taken time off work to explore, learn and develop other interests in my life such as documentary filmmaking, (research, filming, and editing), world travel, and diving. I've made 4 films regarding issues in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside, and have explored the cultures of 12 countries other than my own, (not including the US). My love of diving has brought me to dive in 6 different oceans, (including many sites in the Pacific Ocean). 


Over the past 2 years, I've had the opportunity to dabble in disciplines that I haven't had time to explore since I was in art school, including wood working, glass blowing, writing film scripts, and last year in mid-2025, finally getting into Virtual Production with Unreal 5.

By the fall of last year, I had finished a commissioned short film for a client, (title: Titan and Nic), using Unreal 5.

As the only visual artist on the project, I found myself responsible for all shot layout, lighting, 3D environments, 3D characters, and editing, (both in the Unreal Sequencer & for the final edit in Premier).

I wanted to take on the challenge to see if I could do it, and found out I really enjoyed the entire shot planning process! I loved choosing the shot camera setups & framing the shots, even more than working on the characters & ENV layouts.  Who knew?

​

Beyond that, I would say I'm a professional film and games artist. I have been creating 3D environments for over 18 years in video games, and for over 10 years in film and animation (both matte painting and ENV builds).

This includes multiple AAA game titles with 12 published games, AND multiple blockbuster, award winning feature films.


Oh, and I love dogs.  The ones who are gone, and the ones who are still here...
