I was born in Seattle Washington where my appreciation and love for art began to blossom. I am currently living in Scottsdale Arizona where I have been fueling my creative style. I am a fine artist who specializes in free hand illustration. My strong skill set can be utilized in a variety of ways. What I love most about creating works of art is telling a story. Whether the story is through greeting cards, custom paintings or story book art, there are tempting challenges that await. Playfulness, whimsy and warmth are always present in my art work and can be seen as a direct reflection on character and personality.
