If someone would have handed me a pencil at birth, I'm sure I would have started doodling. Ever since I can remember, when asked, "What do you want to be when you grow up?", the answer was always, "AN ARTIST!". My mom still teases me that if I didn't have that pencil, I would trace things in the air with my finger, thinking about the best way to capture what I was seeing. Combine that love of drawing with a consistent diet of quality children's literature, it was inevitable that I would find myself here, wanting to tell those beloved stories myself. Today I stay busy raising three kids, teaching high school drawing, practicing Spanish, making pictures, and singing really loud through it all.

I work with a combination of traditional and digital media to create my illustrations, and real life as a mom gives me the BEST inspiration. My goal is to spread joy through my art and point to THE Creator in all that I do.
