I studied illustration, painting, drawing and animation. Children's books, science fiction and the fantastic have always been important to me. I studied animation, painting and drawing at the Disney-funded California Institute of the Arts. After attending Immaculate Heart College and California State University Northridge, I moved to New York, where, among other projects I illustrated two children's books: 'Would You Rather?' and 'How Does it Feel...?', both published by Human Sciences Press. Upon returning to Los Angeles I was commissioned to illustrate editorials for the L.A. Weekly and Los Angeles Reader. My most recent published work has been for The Italian Garden Cookbook, Solo Dolci, The Italian Dessert Cookbook by Anna Bruni Benson and a book of pictures and words called Wonderwell published by Lion Press. If you'd like to see a selection of my illustration work contact me via email if you have something that requires illustrating in my unique style.
