I am an illustrator and designer living outside Cleveland, OH. I love to create art that enhances a product or environment. My designs can be found on fabric, scarves, stationery products, greeting cards, calendars and product packaging.

Prior to becoming a surface designer, I worked for many years on consumer products in the advertising world, as a designer/art director. I enjoy the process and challenge of assignment work and apply the discipline I have developed over the years to the creation of my art. You can see some of that work here.

In between my artistic endeavors, this happy life evolved. It includes my husband of 36 years, and our two sons, who are both grown up and out enjoying the world, but still come back to visit. : )

EDUCATION

My education includes a BFA degree and a whole lot of creative exploration which, of course, is at the heart of every artist’s journey. I am most inspired by spending time in nature. Some of my favorite explorations are sketching, painting, doodling, writing, photography, travel and taking walks outdoors.
