My Story

When people ask me what I do I usually reply with some variation of "graphic-artist-illustrator". Sometimes I just say illustrator (which gets the blank-what-is-that? look),  sometimes I just say children's book illustrator (which gets the "oh i've written a book we should get together" response),  and sometimes I just say graphic artist (which, let's face it, is a lot easier for loan officers, insurance managers and IRS officials to handle.) At any rate,  thats what I do.

Who I am is an artist.

A few years ago I got to add on the monikers wife and mom and many many years before that I got to introduce myself as a graduate of Ringling School of Art and Design, but I've always been an artist and I've always been an illustrator because I love to tell stories.

Plus I am social, check out the side bar for where I hang out on the internet. And finally, are you publishing a book? I get asked about that a lot, so read what I always say here.
