Born and raised in upstate New York, Kip learned his greatest lessons from the natural world around him. From the local streams and forests, he learned how to play, create, and untether his imagination.
In 2010, Kip threw caution to the wind, quit his day job, and started his career as a full time professional freelance artist. It has been over a decade and Kip’s passion for illustration has only grown stronger.
Today, he works as a digital illustrator from his home studio. Kip specializes in book cover design and illustration, but has experience in gaming, packaging, and magazine work. He is heavily influenced by both the digital and natural worlds.
When he’s not creating illustrations or shamanic influenced art, he enjoys going for hikes in the forest with his dog Bella, playing guitar, Native American flute, shamanic drums, and watching films.
