I am a self taught artist and designer currently working as a graphic designer for a children's clothing company. I spend my days designing surface patterns for fabric, putting together seasonal design sheets, taking product photography shots and designing media graphics. 
I work in many mediums but my favorite is watercolor.  I love illustration, and hope to some day illustrate a book. My favorite illustrators are Edward Gorey and Quentin Blake.

I am also a fiber artist and enjoy the tactile satisfaction that comes with sewing, knitting, crocheting, felting and embroidery. If I am not drawing or painting you can find me with some kind of fiber-related project in my lap! I have recently learned to dye yarn and I use the yarn to knit goods from my self-drafted patterns and motifs. As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't get much better than a custom knit in a custom color! 
I live in a rural area surrounded by many plants and wildlife and this is where I find most of my inspiration. My favorite subjects are flowers and animals (bears and bunnies in particular) and I enjoy combining elements of nature with whimsy and magic in my art. I hope that my pieces will bring joy to people on even the gloomiest days.
