Artist Statement: Originally from Maryland, I have been enthusiastically living and creating art in Boise since 2019. For the past twenty years I have worked as an illustrator for fantasy gaming publications and fantasy themed children’s books. More recently I have been rediscovering my roots, finding joy and inspiration in a return to the fine arts. An underlying theme in my work is a sincere love of the human figure and a deep connection with our natural world. I paint things that capture my interest, be it for aesthetic or sentimental reasons, untethered to any one specific subject matter. I prefer not to get too attached to a single creative process, instead challenging myself to envision, plan and develop my art in new and different ways. Ultimately, I am happiest when I am able to explore the mysteries and beauty of the people, places and things that surround me in my most beloved medium --- watercolor.

Her professional career began in Illustration. First published by Harper Collins in 1999, she proceeded to work with distinguished publishers, including Hasbro Entertainment Inc., Wizards of The Coast, and many more. Her bright and detailed watercolor illustrations were highly recognizable within the fantasy gaming industry.

She consistently integrates both of these influences into her fine artwork and private commissions.
