I'm an artist and early childhood educator living and loving in Upstate NY, USA.
My work as an artist is about resonance. I feel absolutely compelled to consider each tiny detail, every shade, the animated luminous expanse of sky on a wintry evening. My illustration practice is an outlet for my emergent understanding and immense gratitude for the beauty, complexity and interconnection of life.
​
I have illustrated educational material, children's books, ID and brands, logos, and tattoos. Most recently, I've created coloring pages of progressive and powerful change-makers in human history, which I give away to schools for free. I aspire to create a coloring book with little bios and portraits of all these change-makers.
​
My work is on display in private & public collections around the world, including South Africa, Brazil, Mexico, Guatemala,
Germany, France, Spain, Sweden, Russia and Japan.
