CREATIVE STATEMENT
I am an artist and certified veterinary technician who is fascinated by the natural world and inspired by the mythological one. My illustrations are created with ink and watercolor on hot pressed paper. Cedric and the Dragon, my very first picture book, was published in 2010 and I’ve been happily illustrating ever since. To maintain my skillset, I learn as much as I can about animals and their habitats so that my work is as accurate (and as cute) as possible.

Q&A
What animal do you most relate to?
It might honestly be a cat…I get bursts of energy every now and then but am otherwise rather sleepy most of the time...ha-ha!
What animal is the most fun to draw?
Ooh, I love them all. My favorites are probably bunnies, horses, and dragons.
Which do you prefer: cats or dogs?
Please tell my cats that I said “cats" and my dog that I said “dogs" :)
