CREATIVE STATEMENT
I’ve been drawing since I could hold a pencil, and love to make things with my hands incorporating handmade textures and linework. I believe in lifelong learning, and create work that adds beauty, play, and texture to the everyday. My points of inspiration include vintage travel brochures, mid-century advertising, and good food and drinks. Today, that translates into my food and drink-inspired illustrations. My favorite mediums to work with are ink and gouache paint. When I’m not working, you can find me cooking up a storm in the kitchen or planning my next dinner party. Cheers!

Q&A
What fruit or vegetable do you most love to illustrate?
It’s so hard to pick one! Any citrus is so fun to illustrate because of the varying textures and highlights — there are so many elements to play around with.
What is your comfort food?
Definitely pasta or a really chocolatey brownie.
What is your favorite beverage?
I love a gin martini, it makes me feel like a femme fatale in a spy movie.
