Self Portrait,
acrylic on paper

I grew up loving to read, write and create.  I began selling my creations in local stores by the time I was 10--with the goal of buying a 10-speed bike with my earnings. My product line grew, as did my goals--financing the things deemed important to my childhood dreaming.

Through the years, I experimented with different mediums, but over and over I come back to watercolor as my first love in art mediums. (Although I also enjoy acrylics, linolium block carving, and graphic design, among others.)

One of the things I love about illustrating for others is the challenge of taking something "in a client's head" and making it a reality. I enjoy creating visual images that create the perfect look and feel for the business/product exactly. Each custom job is an original creation, created by hand.
