I graduated from Humboldt State University in Arcata, California, with a Bachelors Degree in Art. I have been a resident on Carson City, Nevada, for over 20 years, where I live with my husband and our dog, Juno. I use colored pencils in my work, and I try to capture many depths of emotion in my drawings, which is why I am often commissioned to create drawings of people and cherished animals.
