Living in different parts of the world was an exciting part of growing up in a military family, but that also meant moving a lot and leaving good friends. It’s a good thing my older sister and I have always been very close, even when she got invited to a dress-up party and I did not. ​



I’ve studied art through the University of Washington and the Seattle School of Visual Concepts. I am an active member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and meet often with a fabulous critique group. My artwork sells around the world, was featured in the SCBWI Bulletin, and in SCBWI ​WWA Illustrator’s Exhibits at the Washington State Convention Center and Seattle City Hall.

I love roller coasters, especially riding in the very first row with my hands up. The more loops and corkscrews, the better.

​Even when I was a little girl, I drew all the time and had a thing for eyelashes. See them on my butterfly? Flutter, flutter.

Years ago I was a dog groomer. Did you know those itty-bitty tiny cut hairs get stuck in your nose while clipping dog's hair?

I do not like grooming dogs.

We have a dog named Zorro I groom all the time anyway because I love him. Nico went to puppy heaven a couple of years ago. I miss him.


​My favorite things to eat are spicy Mexican food, cookies, and fresh peaches.
