I am a published illustrator with twenty years experience in all aspects of the children’s publishing industry. I have recently begun writing picture books and hope to debut as a writer/illustrator soon and am currently seeking representation.
I studied illustration at Columbus College of Art and Design in Columbus, Ohio. My expressive illustrations are commissioned by children's book, magazine and educational publishers worldwide.
I live in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania with my husband and four cats. When I’m not illustrating I love to garden and hike the mountains of central Pennsylvania.
I am a member of Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators.
You can see more of my work at Workbook.com, DirectoryofIllustration.com or www.childrensillustrators.com.
