In 2019 I realized a lifelong pursuit of becoming a published children's book illustrator.

But the journey for me, not only as an illustrator, but also an author, and most recently, an educator is still on-going. I come from a long maternal line of teachers and as I continue to grow as an artist, I understand even better how my words, pictures, and actions can help shape younger generations. I aim to create art that not only fulfills my artistic desires, but also which resonates with and brings joy to children (and the child in each of us adults).
