About

Welcome, and thanks for visiting. I'm an artist living in the foothills of the Taconic Mountains of New York State. My work has appeared in The Boxcar Children series and in several magazines, including Highlights, Ladybug, and Cricket. My debut picture book, Finding Fire is being published by Candlewick Press and is due out in September of 2022.

I love telling stories; stories with adventure and wonder, filled with expressive characters. I think story telling can help us meet challenges that we didn’t anticipate. If a story is told well, it can help us understand what matters most.

When I’m not in my studio, you can find me teaching high school art, playing Catan with my family, or hiking with my dog, Tucker. I have a passion for the outdoors and primitive skills which inspired the story for Finding Fire.
