I've been drawing and painting since I was a kid. I grew up in the midwest climbing trees, playing in the crick, catching frogs and drawinging (apart from all the school stuff). I loved to draw cartoons, animals and painting scenery with my mom and grandparents. I pursued drawing and painting for my college degree which was just about the time computers were starting to become more popular, but I chose the more fine art approach. I lean more towards a whimsical Earnest Shepherd and Hilary Knight style with my tree drawings (Favorite book growing up was/is Hilary Knight's Cinderella.) I have more of a Norman Rockwell style with my kids paintings and photorealistic painterly style when it comes scenery and portraits. I designed carpets for a couple years which was fascinating learning CADD and Photoshop. I moved to Seattle, WA around 2004 and jumped into the world of teaching Preschool because I love working with kids.  I love reading them the books I loved reading as a kid. This got me into drawing coloring pages of animal habitats, animals, scenery, dinosaurs, and ocean life.  Its fun and great to see the kids eyes light up learning and soaking up information.

Reading books to kids and drawing for my preschoolers for 18+ years got me into the world of illustrating children's books. I illustrated the childrens book Brian and the Storm by Van Chestnutt as well as two young adult books Heart of the Dragon and Blood of the Dragon by Jay Pearson.
Recently I had lots of fun creating black and white illustratiions for a book by Jeff Denoncour  that came out in 2023 "Sword & Bow". I look forward to more illustration opportunities in the near future.
