About

  “Never fear originality”

When someone asks what I do, I respond, “I’m a Creative.”  This summarizes my almost forty years as an artist. After earning a BA in Art from George Washington University and studying at The Corcoran School of Art, in Washington D.C., I took courses in commercial art while selling my work. Following a move to Chicago I continued my artistic training at regional Art Centers, The Chicago Mosaic School and the School of the Art Institute where I studied Children’s Book Illustration and subsequently became a published children’s book illustrator. My interest in mosaics has led me to workshops within the United States and Mexico.  My artwork sells both nationally and internationally.  I hold a Masters Degree in Writing for Children and Young Adults and am currently working on my first novel.
