A little about me

Illustrator. Mother. Roller-skater. Gardener. Reader.

My illustrations reflect a deep connection to the natural world. Originally from Oakland, Maryland, my journey has taken me across the globe—from the rugged landscapes of Alaska to the timeless beauty of Nepal and the rolling hills of Scotland. Now based in Canberra, Australia, I draw inspiration from my surroundings, weaving moments of quiet wonder into my art.

​

Working across diverse media—pen and ink, watercolor, acrylic, pencil, and digital tools—I create illustrations that range from whimsical narratives to modern designs for corporate clients. My portfolio spans children's illustration, nature-inspired fine art, meticulously crafted logos, and medical illustrations, showcasing my versatility and attention to detail.
