I think the best painting conditions come with good friends, good music, and large cups of coffee. 

 

As an illustrator, it is my desire to share joy and encourage others through my work.

I love drawing in pen and using vibrant colors. Drawing mermaids in all the blues of the ocean, animals escaping the zoo to become astronauts, or kids learning to love themselves for who they are would all be my dream jobs!

 

I have a Bachelors in Fine Art, a husband named David who plays a mean bass, a cat named Minerva, and am a member of the Society of Children’s Books Writers and Illustrators.

 

I’d love to work with you!
