Crafting characters, one line at a time.
"I have found a desire within myself that no experience in this world can satisfy; the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world." - C.S. Lewis
My picturebook illustration debut was Audrey Vernick's "The Funniest Man in Baseball, The True Story of Max Patkin" published in April 2018 by Clarion Books.
I describe my style as a vintage vibe with a twist and am drawn towards dynamic, character driven, and energetic stories. I love drawing animals, farms, birds, siblings who fight and I've gotten pretty good a drawing soccer balls. My writing style is typically subversive humor.
I studied advertising & journalism at UNC-Chapel Hill & earned my BFA from Winthrop University. I then promptly went to work in the financial services industry, luxury retail and executive administration in an investment holding company. Don't ask. Sometimes the path is long and winding.
I live in the south but spent my formative years in Williamsport, PA where the Little League World Series was in my backyard, my mom would take us cross country skiing after school, and we rode our bikes to the James V. Brown Library where I developed my love for books.
My daughter plays for the Milligan College Women's Soccer team in Johnson City, TN so in my free time I'm typically watching - SOCCER! In my free-free time I'm reading, writing, running, doing yoga, wrangling my small herd of animals, or volunteering at a therapeutic riding barn. You know, normal introverted stuff.
I'm an active member of the SCBWI-Carolinas chapter and lead the monthly QCKidLit critique group. I would be nothing without my tribe of amazingly talented and supportive #kidlit friends.
