I have been getting in trouble for my art since I learned how to sign my name and discovered floors, walls and furniture made pretty neat canvasses. By the time I hit second grade, I became a tattoo artist for my classmates (also pretty neat canvasses) in spite of inadequate, under-the-table pay and their being forced to bathe. I started playing drums when I was nine, graduated with a BFA at the top of my class when I was 40, and in between raised twins. Somewhere in the middle of growing up a little, I became an illustrator, graphic designer, fine artist and writer. I worked as an illustrator and graphic artist in the editorial art department of a daily newspaper for six years, have been an exhibiting artist since 1990 and illustrating professionally since 1992. I taught high school art and photography classes, as well as graphic design, digital imaging and typography classes at the college level. I work in many different mediums including acrylic, graphite, charcoal, colored pencil, pen and ink, and digital, all on wood, board, canvas, paper or discarded cabinet doors, and display in galleries and private collections across the United States. My best friend is a potter and painter and agreed to marry me, and we spend as much time hiking and biking the trails as humanly possible.
