Inside The CyberGallery

Besides having a general love of both two and three dimensional art, I have had a love of drawing stories with whimsical pictures since childhood. I have taken post grad studies in Visual Communication Design from Kent State University, a well as holding a B.S. in Education, K-8 and Early childhood, from the University of Akron. During My Post grad studies, I was introduced to Digital art while it was still in its infancy. A Macintosh now is among the favorite mediums that I use, in addition to Graphite, Pastel and Colored Pencils, depending on which medium best suits the current project.
Outside of children's illustration, I am a Tarot artist. I am the Illustrator for the Magdalene Legacy Tarot, written and originated by Casey DuHamel. This deck has had the honor of a full page inclusion in US Games 5th edition Tarot Encyclopedia. It’s “Magician” card has appeared on the cover of the American Tarot Association Quarterly. Currently scheduled to be published by Tarot Media Co. late 2010/early 2011. I am currently a board member of the Northern Ohio Region of the the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators, (NOHSCBWI) I have found SCBWI, an international society of the highest standards, to be a veritable necessity in order to be active in Children's Illustration. I am also a member of the Northern Ohio Illustrators Society (NOIS), a local Professional Society that has helped support Ohio area illustrators of all genres. I reside in Northern Ohio with my husband of 33 years. I am the mother of two grown daughters and three grandchildren.
