About

Hello!

Illustrating full-time is my childhood dream come true. Living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, I don't look far for inspiration. Unique map illustrations and informational art are my specialties. I love precise information, quirky detail and Northwest themes in my pieces. My preferred medium is ink and watercolor which invite both control and surprise into my work.

Since I was young I've loved creating and making visual art. I used to draw all the characters in the books I read! In college I studied illustration at a liberal arts school in the Midwest. For a decade I worked as a graphic designer before making the transition to art full time in 2017. 

Most days I work out of my studio in Everett, Washington where I manage my online stores, work on commercial commissions and create artwork. I love volunteering on the Cultural Arts Commission for the city. Since 2015 I've contributed to the Live In Everett blog, with sketches of daily life in my part of the world. During the summer and holidays you'll find me at many of the art festivals and urban craft events that the PNW is known for.
