My Story

I feel I was born with a special connection to expressing myself through art.  I can remember from a very young age waking up early to draw quietly.  As I have grown older and had children of my own, I have witnessed firsthand the joy, connection and laughter my illustrations can create.  It is truly rewarding and inspiring to be a part of that magic. I went to a fine arts high school and eventually went to The Academy of Art in San Francisco.  This is where I discovered Computer Animation.  It changed everything for me.  I was new to the computer at this time, but I quickly found all the other programs that I now use for all my work.  Illustrator, Photoshop and After Effects consumed me.  I took a break from pursuing my career to raise my kids and went back to school to learn Graphic Design.  I live in Reno NV now and work from home.  I also have many passion projects that I regularly do for clients.  I have done Birthday, Christmas cards and personal greeting cards for the same clients for years.  As their families grow and change, I grow and change with them.
