About Me

I am an artist and graphic designer living in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Much of my time is spent art directing and designing children’s books at a small, very active publishing company. I enjoy the many opportunities to interact with illustrators from all over the country and the world. I learn a great deal from these artists and from the books I work on.

When not busy with my day job, I spend as much time as I can working on my own art. I use many different materials to create paintings, drawings, and mosaic art. I have tried to not limit myself and to be open to possibilities created when working with unfamiliar materials. I enjoy the learning process involved in trying something new.

My regard for and love of nature is a theme I share with many other artists. I paint and draw and create mosaics to find ways to express what I am learning and what I love about a tree, a flower, a bird. These seemingly simple things are really quite complex and beautiful.
