Shortly after receiving a BFA in Illustration from The Art Institute of Boston, I decided to leave the cold northeast and return to the warm city in which I grew up: Dallas, TX.  With  encouragement from my husband, son, daughter, and two dogs, I happily spend my days  illustrating.  I am comfortable in all mediums, but specialize in acrylics.  I enjoy painting children and animals in a whimsical style, well-suited for children.
