My professional background has been in advertising/marketing/product development, but my art has always been there to enhance my professional career. My artwork has been featured on over 65 products sold to Bass Pro, Cabelas, Target and Bed Bath & Beyond and I have illustrated over 50 books ranging from poetry to children's books.

Art has been a huge part of my life, starting way back when at the age of two and a half I was involved in a riding lawn mower accident and my leg was fed up into the blade. Many years and multiple surgeries later, I found that art was my little corner of the world where I felt I was able to be safe and be myself.

I am a freelance artist/graphic designer and illustrator, and I absolutely LOVE it!

In 2011, I moved to England. While there I had the opportunity to instruct in the Master Oil painting technique as well as participating in a book signing as a featured illustrator; not to mention the pleasure to study the beauty of the North Yorkshire Dales (through the rain!).
