“My passion is illustrating picture books! I love combining and experimenting with different mediums using a hands-on approach. I play with watercolor, prisma, ink, and tissue paper collage and sprinkle in some digital “magic” from my years as an animator.
I enjoy the challenge of delicately balancing text with imagery and seeing kids connect their experiences to stories.
In my spare time, I enjoy watching British Archeology shows, gardening, and oil painting for fine art exhibitions. Mostly, I love hanging with my talented husband and two young energetic kids in Los Angeles, CA.”
