I’m a Houston-based artist with a BA in Art who loves coffee, all-things dogs, and world-traveling adventures—as long as I can get to carry an iPad with Procreate in my backpack! With 25+ years of experience as an Art Teacher, I enjoy bringing creativity to life with fun art lessons and crafting colorful illustrations for children’s picture books.
Are you an author? Let’s team up and create something amazing!
Ever since I could hold a pencil, I’ve been drawn to the world of art and illustration. My journey began with doodles in the margins of textbooks and quickly evolved into a lifelong pursuit of visual storytelling. I’ve always believed that art has the power to communicate, inspire, and transform, and that’s what fuels my creative spirit.
As an artist, my style is a blend of vibrant, colorful and feel-happy impressions. I’m constantly experimenting with techniques, colors, and mediums to bring my imagination to life. Whether it’s through intricate pen and ink drawings or vivid digital illustrations, I aim to create visuals that resonate with the heart and mind. Recently, I have been fascinated with the infinite creative possibilities that digital media has to offer, and in particular Procreate® and drawing in the iPad.
As an illustrator, I love the challenge of translating words into visuals. Whether it’s illustrating children’s books, designing eye-catching graphics for marketing campaigns, or creating editorial illustrations, I thrive on bringing ideas to life in a visually compelling way. My work often revolves around children’s book illustrations, art education and multimedia.
Yes, illustration can absolutely be considered art. Art is a broad and multifaceted category that encompasses a wide range of creative expressions, and illustration is one of them.
Illustration involves the creation of visual representations or images to convey ideas, stories, or concepts, and it often requires skill, creativity, and imagination. Many illustrators are highly regarded as artists in their own right, and their work can be found in galleries, museums, books, magazines, advertisements, and various other forms of media. Read more »
I believe that art has the power to evoke emotions, spark conversations, and make the world a more colorful and meaningful place. With every stroke of my brush or click of my digital pen, I aspire to connect with others and share stories that resonate. My ultimate goal is to connect and convey.
I’m always eager to collaborate, share ideas, and connect with fellow artists, clients, and art enthusiasts. If you’d like to discuss a project, share your thoughts on art, or just say hello, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me as an artist and illustrator. I look forward to embarking on new creative adventures and sharing the beauty of visual storytelling with you.
