Bio:

I have a Master's Degree in Printmaking from the Otis Art Institue in Los Angeles. After I graduated, I started working in the field of computer graphics in 1982 creating business graphics on a system called Genigraphics. Since the mid 1990s I have created most of my art work on a Mac. I have a life long love of children's books and have a large collection of picture books and middle grade/young adult fiction.

I was an illustrator for Instinct magazine for two years and have also created illustrations for Eddie Bauer and Red Maple Sportswear. I wrote and illustrated an article/tutorial for Painter magazine (issue #35) which came out in November 2009. In the summer of 2011 I illustrated my first children's book, "Secrets of the Magic Ring," by Karen McQuestion. It was published in November of 2011 by Amazon Children's Publishing.

In 2012, I illustrated 4 children's stories for FarFaria a division of Intuary, Inc. that publishes children's storybooks as apps for the iPad.
