about me
I am an Illustrator, teacher, and artist on the Oregon Coast.
My mother ran a craft business, when I was small, and built my first studio when I was eight. I was encouraged at a young age to produce art.
I have increased my knowledge of illustration by traveling each summer for the last several years to Hollins and studying under some of the best children's book illustrators working today.
I have a Master's Certification from Hollins University in Children's Book Illustration.
