I am an illustrator with 20 years of experience in book publishing, product design, and greeting card illustration.
In the past decade I have illustrated over 50 children’s books, including The Adventures of Sophie Mouse (Vol.21 coming soon!) and my first authored book The Best Gift For Bear.
I have always loved working with traditional materials. I studied fine art at the Columbus College of Art and Design and my most recent illustrations are a blend of graphite, gouache, and colored pencils.
I live in St Paul, Minnesota.
