About
I've been interested in making art since my father showed me how to make a mini cartoon with a tiny little notebook when I was about 5. Since then, I have drawn, painted and learned how to make digital designs.
Even after over 20 years designing, I still really enjoy the process of determining what's going on a piece of paper or into cyberspace, then making it happen. It's very exciting when I get to work with a client all through the process, from draft to final hand off, and bring their vision to life.
Originally a native of Northern Illinois (about 50 miles north of Chicago), I met my husband in 1994 in McHenry, IL, then moved to the Atlanta Metro Area, where we got married. Since then I've had two boys who are now adults, and I live with an obnoxious Plott Hound mix, Henry, who enjoys barking at other animals on TV as well as large, air-filled lawn ornaments.
I enjoy drawing, painting and reading. When I have the opportunity, I like to go 4-wheeling and — as cliché as it sounds — I really do enjoy long walks on the beach, directly followed by collapsing on the sand.
