Forensic sketch artist. Excavator of information. Seeker of knowledge. Invoker of memories.
As a Forensic Artist, my renderings are done by unifying the two most dominant elements in our arsenal: Art and Science. The sources of my illustrations are often the product of someone else's memories combined with the science of how we anatomically evolve throughout life - and sometimes further - how we devolve after death.
SERVICES:
Although my services are versatile and ever-expanding, below are a few of the more common requests. (Most of which can be done remotely):
Composite Sketches
Age Progressions and Regressions
Surveillance Image Enhancements
Postmortem Illustrations
Facial Approximations
Photo Comparisons
Demonstrative Evidence
Concept Art
As an expert Forensic Artist, I embed images from others' memories onto a piece of paper to provide investigators with leads towards solving a case. My renditions continue to serve Law Enforcement Agencies, Educational Institutions, Law Firms, Scientific Research, Production Companies, and whomever else is in need of my services.
When we collaborate, your chief mission becomes my chief mission. This is how we both succeed.
