About Me

Hello and thank you for visiting!   As an artist and storyteller, I have always been inspired by classic fairy tale illustration, and my collection of vintage children's books is never far from reach! I also have a love of history, cats, and tea, not necessarily in that order.  I received my BFA in Illustration from Moore College of Art & Design in Philadelphia, and have also taught drawing classes for children as an instructor for an art enrichment program.  In addition to book illustration, I also paint whimsical children's and pet portraits.
