​I am an illustrator, artist and printmaker, with over 25 years of experience, living in Shorewood, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. My work consists mainly of traditional mixed media and my illustrations are created using combinations of graphite, ink, watercolor, colored pencil and acrylic. They are then often edited or enhanced using digital methods. I also love to work with linocut relief printmaking. My work is inspired by my love of nature and gardening, the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan, all things fashion, food and lifestyle, as well as motherhood. I studied drawing, painting and design, as well as English literature, and earned my bachelor's degree from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.  ​​

​

When working together on a project, I pride myself in bringing a professional approach, sticking closely to briefs with flexibility and meeting all deadlines, with clear communication along the way. And I truly enjoy the process of working together to ensure a great final outcome.  With each new project I embrace the unique problem solving experience, which allows me continued growth and learning as an artist. And I love pushing the boundaries of my creativity.

If you're interested in working together, I am available for illustration work, commissions and licensing. For inquiries, please contact me directly. I would love to hear about your project and work together!
