I graduated from college with a degree in graphic arts but did not actually pursue my love of illustration till my children were born. On an afternoon while my son was napping, I picked up a fine tip, felt nib pen and began sketching an appealing subject out of a magazine, and it was all over for me! My love affair of pen and ink began and has never stopped.

I am amazed how a few delicate, fragile strokes – the definite black ink against the crisp white of the paper – can be applied layer upon layer to create an image that fairly leaps off the page!

The same holds true for watercolor and color pencil; each transparent layer of color molding the subject into shape, form and character, under layers of color shining through.

I invite you to view my work, hoping that you will enjoy looking at it as much as I enjoy doing it!
