Illustrator 

Currently seeking representation.

 In 2017 I was the First Runner Up for The Tomie dePaola Award.

 I have illustrated eleven books from small independent publishers. I don't have a favorite color, and I can't draw a straight line even with a ruler. I enjoy working in traditional mediums, pen and ink, watercolor, I have started to work with watercolor pencils, and Walnut ink. I also played with oil pastels and one day plan to return to them. Computers are not my strong point, but I do have an earlier version of Photoshop that I use from time to time. I participate in an illustration critique group. When I am not drawing or painting, I work full time as a New York State License Massage Therapist. I have been practicing since 1995; It has been said I am one of the top practitioners in New York City.
