I am an award winning printmaker and illustrator. I originally studied printmaking techniques while in college, where I majored in psychology with a minor in art. I put my artwork on hold while I spent many years in publishing, doing layout and production on monthly and weekly magazines including McCall's Working Mother, Sunset Magazine, TravelAge West and many small trade magazines.

​

I am the illustrator of two children's books, I'm Going to be a Big Brother, and I'm Going to be a Big Sister, both the recipients of the 2006 iParent Media Awards.

​

I love the art of printmaking. I use relief, intaglio, monotype, and silkscreen printmaking techniques in my artwork, and take classes to learn new chemical-free printmaking whenever I can. I am constantly trying out new techniques as I'm always looking for new ways to do this wonderful art form!

​

I have participated in many art shows and exhibits in the San Francisco Bay Area, Lake Tahoe CA, Reno NV, and in the Seattle area. I most recently won 3rd place in the printmaking catagory at the 2025 Edmonds Art Festival! I am so honored to have received this award.

I have been in the Seattle area for the past 4 years, and am constantly amazed and inspired by the beauty of Puget Sound.
