CREATIVE STATEMENT
My love for fashion illustration began when I was in art school studying fashion design. I discovered I was more interested in painting my designs on paper than actually sewing the garments. I continue to create my artwork with traditional mediums, using gouache paints on watercolor paper. Over the years I have developed and maintain my skills by keeping a balance of painting client work as well as personal artwork, so that I am continuously inspired, happily creating and exploring new ideas nonstop.
Q&A
Which do you prefer: cozy or glamorous?
I enjoy a little of both!
What is your favorite fashion time period?
I can spend hours immersed in my books on the fashion art and illustration of the 1920’s.
What brand do you admire most?
When I see a design whose structural lines, engaging prints or skillful use of color excite and inspire me — that’s a brand I love!
