I've been creating art for as long as I can remember. I truly believe that by expressing yourself with art can allow you to see the world in magical and beautiful ways! I invite you to take a creative journey with me by adding art that feeds your soul to the walls of your home, giving art that shares your feelings to a loved one, or learning to draw and paint with me on Skillshare.

I grew up in rural Illinois surrounded by cornfields and majestic sunsets. I then moved to Chicago to study art and raise my family. The influences of city life and country life are both a part of all that I create. My artistic journey has included working as an art director, illustrator, graphic designer, mural artist, teacher, and product designer.

My most recent passion is creating illustrations for children's books and magazines, home decor, stationery, and gift products. Click here to view my illustration portfolio.
