CREATIVE STATEMENT
My interest in art began when I was young. I always knew I was an artist! I am a graduate of Parsons School of Design, and over the years I have taken classes and also taught Art and Design. I am an illustrator who specializes in editorial, lifestyle, fashion, interiors and architecture. I’m influenced by my surroundings, and I add a bit of vintage with a whimsical perspective. What I love most about illustration is the ability to delight. To create a successful illustration I believe it is important to listen carefully and collaborate with the client. I’m always the most satisfied when the final result is something I never imagined!

Q&A
What topic do you most enjoy illustrating about?
I enjoy drawing interiors and filling them with furniture and objects. I love drawing the home and illustrating people’s decorative decisions. I like to draw dining areas with table settings and food ready to eat. I like to catalog things we choose to wear and things we place in our homes. I also enjoy illustrating history.
What magazine cover do you want your illustration to be on?
I’d like to illustrate a cover for The New Yorker.
