WILDWOOD

CONCEPT ARTIST • VFX ART DIRECTOR • MATTE PAINTING SUPERVISOR

00 / THE PROJECT

From the first idea to the final image.

Few projects have allowed me to be involved in the creative journey quite like Wildwood.

I joined the film in its earliest days as a concept artist, helping explore and shape the look of the world. As the film moved into production, I transitioned into the role of VFX Art Director while continuing to supervise the matte painting department.

Having the opportunity to carry those early ideas forward—from the first visual explorations through the art direction of the final shots—has been an incredibly meaningful part of my career. This page brings together that work and some of the process behind it.

The Art of Wildwood

The Art of Wildwood is a beautiful collection of artwork that offers a glimpse into the years of creativity and imagination that went into bringing this film to life.

I feel incredibly fortunate to have been part of that journey from the very beginning, helping explore and shape the look of Wildwood through my early concept work. It's especially meaningful to see so many of those pieces featured throughout the book, including my artwork on the cover!

I'm so proud to have contributed to this collection alongside so many incredibly talented artists.
