As soon as the coffee is ready, I’m in my tiny studio. Inspiration is a wondrous gift but over the years I’ve learned that you’d better not wait around for it.

I was blessed with parents who looked the other way when I brought home yet another furry creature to love and a mom who drove me all over town to art classes. I attended Art Center College of Design and made a career of illustrating and designing. I have over ten years in the SCBWI behind me. Connecting with peers is the “take away” I value most.

I live in Southern California with my very supportive husband. As often as possible, I am in Florida visiting my two grandkids. They have gotten quite used to me sitting in the corner attempting to catch a gesture or two in my sketchbook.

For fun, exercise and community, I swim in the ocean with an amazing group of friends.

Am seeking representation.
