About Me:
Originally from the USA, I moved to Ireland in 1994, where I still live today with my children and silly white dog. I began freelancing as a children's book illustrator in 2012 and have illustrated about 50 books since then. In 2014, I was awarded the Kuykendall Image Award for my illustrations in Nancy Scalabroni's book, "Couga Monga Minga Man."
I am a self-taught artist and in 2023 I returned to third-level education in pursuit of a degree in Forensic Science and Analysis...but I don't believe I will ever stop Arting.
