After earning a degree in Graphic Design and achieving a successful twenty-year career in the advertising print industry, I became frustrated with the fact that all of my work (print advertising) would eventually be tossed away once read. In 2002 I discovered the craft of wearable art. I immediately fell back in love with making artful designs again. When I'm not writing and illustrating children's books, I'm creating new wearable art designs in my studio.
