My artistic talents were first discovered at the age of three, when I was found creating a mural on the dining room wall with a pastry brush and a can of Crisco. Although the work itself was never fully appreciated by my parents, my interest in art was. They quickly gave me more appropriate supplies. My passion grew and I ended up with a BFA in Studio Art from the University of Texas.

I have been working as an illustrator ever since. I am currently published in the educational market, children's magazines, chapter books and picture books. My clients include Highlights, Harcourt, Scholastic.uk, Pockets magazine, McGraw Hill, QED Publishing, Hazelden Educational Publishing and Red Leaf Press.
