Hello I’m so glad you’re here! I am a self-taught award-winning, exhibiting, working artist. My work includes digital and traditional illustration, mixed-media and experimental painting, childrens books, mural art and more!

I LOVE hanging out with other artists, and that’s who your kids are! I am known to be an encouraging, enthusiastic, kind and knowledgable teacher. I love teaching kids and teens of all abilities and backgrounds and facilitating connection, collaboration and helping students find their voice and trust their intuition!

I have taught elementary, middle and high school aged students in art, creative writing, drawing, painting, comics, stop motion animation, digital animation, character design, and fundamental art principles like shape, line, perspective, color, composition, texture, mark-making and more! I am a member of the Society of Children's Books Writers and Illustrators and the Art Brand Alliance. I am represented by Adria Goetz at KT Literary Agency.

Most days you can find me making art, writing, reading, in the woods, swimming, dancing or having fun with my family and friends!
