I am from a small town in Massachusetts just north of Boston called Nahant. I went to Ringling School of Art and Design and graduated with a BFA in Illustration. Up until a few years ago, I was an elementary school art teacher. Now I am working full-time as an artist. I live with my husband and two small sons who we are raising to be well-versed in all of Geekdom.
I originally wanted to work for Disney as an animator, so my work tends to reflect that. I am influenced by the amazing work of Glen Keane, Audrey Kawasaki, and Alphonse Mucha.I also speak fluent Star Wars, Firefly, Buffy, Harry Potter and Steampunk.
I currently live in Swampscott, MA with my husband Matt, my sons Ryan and James, and our cats, Obi and Kenobi.
