My passion for drawing came at a very young age with nature as my inspiration. I also have an appreciation of color and the combination of different palettes to create a mood or feeling.

I received a BFA from the University of Hartford Art School with a major in Illustration and a minor in Art History. I have worked as an illustrator for many years primarily in the social expressions industry. I gained much of my experience as a senior illustrator at Paramount Cards. With that knowledge I decided to go out on my own as a freelance Illustrator

With my fine arts background and strong drawing skills I have been able to expand my talents into different mediums and techniques over the years. I am always looking to expand on these skills to keep up with the market and the current trends to better accommodate the client with innovative designs. As administrator of my business, I attained the skills to write up contracts and understand the world of licensing art.

This past year I completed a demanding program at the Rhode Island School of Design and I received a certificate in Graphic Design. This is where I gained my knowledge in the visual language of graphic design specializing in typography, layout, and various structures. I have also mastered the programs of Creative Suite to successfully represent my thoughts for others to understand visually.

I am looking forward to bringing my illustration talents together with my graphic design knowledge to create inspirational designs for all to enjoy.
