Hello! My life as an artist began before I can remember, when according to my mother, I used to run through the house with a crayon and mark up anything I could find (walls included). Eventually those marks turned into stories with words and pictures that I could share with others.
I earned my degree in Studio Art - Painting from the University of Houston. Because of my passion for children’s literature, I followed my B.F.A. with a Masters in Library Science from the University of North Texas, with an emphasis in youth librarianship and storytelling. I have worked in public libraries throughout my career and regularly use my artistic skills in a variety of ways in a library setting - including graphic design and illustration work, creating murals, and offering visual storytelling performances for children.
My favorite activities besides art and writing are swimming, dancing, traveling, learning new languages, and viewing inspiring examples of interior design and architecture. If I am not doing one of those things, then I am probably reading in the hammock or spending time with my sweet little boys.
