I love paper and I love making, painting, decorating, cutting, bending, tearing, and otherwise manipulating it whether by hand or digitally. I enjoy combining hand painted details with areas of cut paper and sometimes real materials. I love exploring the possibilities.
Awards have come from The Society of Illustrators, The 3-Dimensional Art Directors and Illustrators Show, Graphic Design:USA, Art Direction Magazine/Creativity Show, Children's Book Council Joint Committee, New York Book Show; and The Educational Press Association of America, among others.
