Thanks for visiting, come back again soon, I'm frequently updating
my images.
I'm from rural Indiana and grew up roaming the woods with sketchbook
in hand, drawing leaves, mushrooms and a fairy or two. With a degree
in Communication Arts from ISU, I spent my early career as the "graphic designer that could really draw", working in corporate marketing for Melvin Simon and Associates and several ad agencies in Indianapolis.
Along with my husband, son and a chocolate lab named Mousse, we moved to Buffalo. I landed an art director position for Rich Food's Magazine and then moved on to freelance for Fischer-Price, soon hired as staff artist. After four snowy years in Buffalo, my husband Pete was offered a job in Tampa Bay and we have been enjoying lovely Florida for nine years.
I'm now living my dream as an illustrator, sharing my studio with my two boisterous Boxers, Beck and Haley. When I'm not at the drawing board, you can find me at the dog park or walking the beach.
