I graduated with honors from Virginia Commonwealth University’s prestigious School of the Arts. I majored in Communication Arts & Design, and also minored in Art History because I actually liked it.

As a student I was honored to be included in several juried art exhibitions. I even won some awards. These include "Best in Category" for 1708 Gallery's Wearable Art competition and Third Place for an illustration design commissioned by the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

You also may have seen my work on the cover of Richmond's Brick Weekly or in the 2007 volume of Poictesme literary journal, where I served as Art Editor and contributed my graphic design skills...as well as some mediocre poetry.

At present I live in the exurbs of southeastern Pennsylvania and pass the time as a freelance illustrator and stained glass artisan. I have a pretty awesome family, two friendly dogs and an orange cat named Dexter (after the fictional serial killer). I hope to publish my first children's book, tentatively named Lizzie and the Fox, this summer (...and I write fiction better than I write poetry).
