I grew up in the Adirondacks of New York state and started drawing at 3 according to my Mother. I attended the New England School of Art in Boston after high school, and went on to freelance illustration. I have been doing my illustrations for the past 40 years. I presently live in beautiful Portland, Oregon with my 3 rescued kitties.

Nature is my favorite subject, its simplicity on one side and complexity on the other. I view the world as a puzzle, each piece being necessary.
