Hi, welcome to my website!
I graduated from the School of Visual Arts, NYC with a BFA in Illustration.
I am an active member of SCBWI; NJ SCBWI; Manuscript Academy; Query Tracker; Highlights Foundation courses and workshops including Summer Camp in Illustration: Intensive Artistic Inspiration 2022; Crash Course in Children’s Publishing: Illustrators Edition 2022; SCBWI conferences.
Related Work Experience:
Assistant to the Chair: MFA Illustration as Visual Essay Program at School of Visual Arts
Editorial Illustrator: NY Times Book Review, Asbury Park Press; Philadelphia Inquirer
Teaching Artist: Monmouth Arts Council, NJ
Community Relations Manager: Barnes & Noble Children’s Summer Reading Specialist
My idea of fun:
Procreate, drawing, painting (gouache makes my heart sing), assemblage, collage.
Sketchbooks. The messier the better.
Online art workshops.
Podcasts, podcasts, podcasts.
Guinea Pigs (obviously).
I am currently looking for agent representation as author/illustrator for my picture book:
Elbie and Gidget: A Guinea Pig Tale (with Pigtails!)
Dummy available upon request.
