Bio:

I discovered my love for drawing by re-creating the characters from my favorite animated movies. It wasn't until college and an awesome teacher that I realized I could draw for a career. I switched from government to Studio Art and never looked back. After graduating with a Studio Art degree I got married, had a baby and moved to the east coast.

After a year of full-time babyhood, I combined watercolor (my favorite class in school) and children's illustration. Since then, I have painted, painted and then painted some more, taught art classes to elementary school students, sold some paintings and had twin boys to keep their sister company.

(or harass her, it's all about perspective)

My first picture book," Maya was Grumpy" (author and illustrator) will be published by Flashlight Press spring of 2013.
