"I’ve always been captivated by the fluid, organic movement of lines across paper. As a daydreamer and doodler, I find inspiration in their expressive nature—whether curious, scratchy, implied, delicate, or simply beautiful. My goal is to create worlds that invite every creative soul to wander and explore."
While working full time as a professor of storyboard, characters and environments, I am also the Regional Illustration Coordinator for the SCBWI Southern Breeze Region. If you'd like to see what we do check out our regional homepage: www.scbwi.org/regions/southern-breeze
