​I am an illustrator, artist and printmaker, with over 25 years of experience, living in Shorewood, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I work mainly with traditional media and create illustrations using combinations of graphite, ink, watercolor, colored pencil and acrylic, which are then often edited or enhanced using digital methods. I also 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 and lifestyle, and 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!
