Illustration portfolio
I create conceptual illustrations, portraits, infographics and comics. I've illustrated everything from abstract stories on the economy to practical how-to stories on exercise. My illustrations have been featured in newspapers around the country. I am equally comfortable working with dirty, real-world paint and the virtual equivalent.
Refugees shaped America
While the United States has a long history of accepting immigrants from around the world fleeing persecution and war, the term “refugee” wasn’t defined until the mid-20th century following the massive exodus of Europeans displaced by World War II. At least 180,000 Europeans uprooted by the war arrived in the United States from 1933 to 1945, according to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, leading Congress to enact its first refugee legislation in 1948. Under the act, the United States admitted an additional 350,000 displaced people over the next four years, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
