I work from my home and studio in Woodside, California, we affectionately
call our "tree house", with my artist/writer husband Mark Holmes and our
twin four-year-old sons.
As long as I can remember I have always loved reading, drawing and painting.
As a kid, my friends and I would write and illustrate spooky or fantastic
stories then make our own little picture books. I was hooked! Illustrating
books seemed like the coolest job on earth.
I graduated with a BFA in Illustration from the Academy of Art College
in San Francisco and have taken classes at UC Berkeley and Stanford University
in children's book illustration and picture-book writing.
I work as a freelance illustrator in the editorial and children's market
place. I have also illustrated and art directed for various companies
in the multi-media, corporate, educational and game industries.
I work primarily in acrylics but occasionally use pastels. I like to
use theatrical lighting and color to get the mood of the piece I am illustrating.
My technique involves laying down an acrylic wash to dry, then working
over it with a dry brush, scumbling the paint to give the work a soft
pastel like quality.
To see more of my artwork please
