ARTIST STATEMENT

  • It’s my passion to illustrate picture books and develop stories for kids!

    I enjoy using mediums that use a hands-on approach such as watercolor, ink and collage. Then, assembling them using digital skills learned in my 20 year career as an animator.

    I enjoy the revision process and collaborating on projects. I look forward to the two writing groups I participate in monthly along with the great one-on-one and mentored critique groups offered through Storyteller Academy.

    I reside with my husband and two young gremlins :-) in Los Angeles, CA.
