"Illustration has always been my dream. To be able to bring life to characters, create a visual story where there once was nothing but a bare page, it's an incredible process to experience and enjoy."

 

Living a creative lifestyle - it is extremely rewarding one minute and disheartening the next. Having a thick skin helps, but surrounding yourself with encouraging people and treating oneself to daily doses of inspiration, tends to minimize the bruised ego.

When I am not in the studio creating an illustration or completing a design project,  then I am probably folding laundry or shuttling my children to their various activities. Creative time is also spent happily painting at my easel, creating jewelry or blogging. Even on my busiest day, I wouldn't change a thing... well except sleep, I would love to be able to function on less sleep so that I would have more time to spend in the studio. ;)

What mediums do you prefer to work in?
There are several mediums that I enjoy working in, but primarily focus on a mixed medium style of watercolor, prisma pencil and gouache. I also enjoy dabbling with acrylics.
Where do you sell items locally or nationally?
Almost all of my art work has sold or been commissioned in the US, but a few pieces have gone over seas. It is exciting to think of my art traveling to places that I have never been myself. ;)
What gives you inspiration?
What doesn't give me inspiration? I never know when the creative muse may strike, but often am inspired by nature. I love painting birch trees, can't get enough of photographing flowers and my kids provide daily inspiration for my illustrations.
