I discovered my love for drawing  by re-creating the characters from my favorite animated movies. I took the plunge in college when I switched majors from Government to  Art. After four terrifying, soul crunching, critique-filled, wonderful years, I received a Studio Art degree from the University of Texas at Austin. Soon after, I got married, had a baby and moved to the east coast.

After a year of  full-time babyhood, I discovered I could combine watercolor and children’s illustration.  Since then, I have honed my style, taught a few art classes, sold some paintings and had twin boys.

Now, I’m concentrating on breaking into the world of childrens’ books as an author/illustrator.
