About

Born in Philadelphia, PA, (where my first childhood art influence was Cartoon Corners General Store, a local children's TV program) my family moved to Florida when I was eight. I studied art at Maryville College, in Marville, TN and after graduation I moved to Atlanta, GA where I worked as a paste-up and graphic artist. I eventually went out on my own and began doing freelance art and illustration work, and have been doing that ever since. Several years ago my husband and I returned to Florida so our daughter could have the same kind of beach kid childhood I had. On the art front: the first book I had the opportunity to illustrate was "Out To Pasture" by Effie Leland Wilder but it wasn't until 2006, with the publication of "If A Dolphin Were A Fish" by Loran Wlodarski, for Sylvan Dell Publishing (now called Arbordale Publishing), that I got to fulfill a life-long dream to draw for children. I have had the pleasure of illustrating 9 children's books for Arbordale, and 1 for Pelican Publishing, and am putting the finishing touches on book number 11. Books and art - what could possibly be better! Any place where words and pictures meet. And sometimes... the picture says it all.
