Biography
I am a Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) graduate, with a BFA in Illustration.
I have been a freelance illustrator since 1989, specializing in publications for kids-- for their education and entertainment. I also illustrate for grownups when a whimsical piece of art is needed to perk up a page!
My illustrations run the gamut from traditionally-created to digitally-created, with stops in-between.
I've also begun a second business, with different product lines made with fiber/fabric. Currently, I am designing & creating finger puppets, pillows, tea & egg cozies, and have been exhibiting @ craft shows, as well as selling items via online and "brick & mortar" shops. My puppets have been on display at Providence Children's Museum in an exhibit entitled, "I Live in a Small Town", and was a part of the group show, "Stitch Wars Strikes Back!" in Lauderhill, Florida. I am now licensing artwork from both my Arts & my Crafts portfolios.
