Thank you for visiting my website. I am a designer, illustrator and children's book author living in the Boston area. I have written and illustrated two books for Cartwheel Books (Scholastic) and have illustrated two others as well as numerous other children's publications.
I have also designed many greetings cards and other stationery products.. Several of my greeting cards have been awarded the prestigious LOUIS Award at the International Greeting Card Awards. In 2007 I was awarded the Don Freeman memorial Grant-in-Aid by the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.
I attended the University of Pittsburgh and received a Bachelors of Science in computer science with minors in art and mathematics. Three of my paintings are in the university's permanent collection. I studied painting at the Chautauqua Institute of Art. And I received my Masters of Science in computer science from Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken New Jersey.
I grew up in Pennsylvania but now I live in rural Massachusetts with my husband, two children, three fish and two pet rats.
