"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."
I am a former full time as a professor of drawing, storyboard, characters and environments at Savannah College of Art Design (2018-2025) and have been an educator for the past 18 years. I have now transitioned into the studio full time while also serving as the Regional Illustration Coordinator for the SCBWI Southern Breeze Region.
