I knew I was an artist when I was 4 and got busted for drawing a sailboat with permanent blue marker on our green vinyl sofa...everyone's a critic ;). Unfortunately, for much of the rest of my childhood/early adulthood, I bought into the “starving artist” paradigm and therefore, this was not a good career path to follow. So, I went to college and then grad school and worked for 7 years in 3 jobs as an academic advisor/success coach but had trouble figuring out why I was always so miserable. Then it hit me to simply take the advice I had dispensed regularly to my students..."you gotta chase your dreams". And here I am...I've left the traditional work world to chase my dream of thriving as an artist. The art field is vast and the options are wide but I've discovered that drawing and illustration bring me so much joy. I see illustration as visual storytelling so I’ve been practicing using images more than text to convey a story and that brought me to the idea of creating a web comic loosely based on my life, mundane as it is, called “Just Another Day”. I’m excited to see how my style and voice grow with this comic.

 I’m available for freelance projects so please contact me via my contact form and I’ll get right back to you!

Thanks for looking around! Now go chase your dreams!!
