This week I decided to give myself an editorial assignment. It’s work I love to do but I don’t get nearly as much practice as I would like. This is an illustration based on a recent article in National Geographic. The article explored aging and the discovery of genes in our DNA that could possibly… Continue Reading
Here is a quick little painting I did for my husband for our recent anniversary. He’s a huge fan of bees and dreams of having his own hives one day. I drew the bee in pencil and then painted the comb right over the top. This is available as a print in my Print Shop.… Continue Reading
Over the weekend I did a new recipe comic for Herbed White Bean Dip with Toasted Crostini. This is a really great recipe when you’re having some friends over and it’s something a little different than, say, hummus or spinach dip. Trust me, with the bacon mixed in, this won’t last long. Enjoy!… Continue Reading

It’s my husband’s recipe and is perfect for a little summer in the middle of winter. I created the illustration for They Draw and Cook and you… Continue Reading
Last week I started a new class through the Tutor Mill. I am taking a class on Visual Metaphor with Chris Buzelli and Yuko Shimizu, two very talented and well-known illustrators. This piece is the final from my first assignment on the problems that are created when the sea ice that polar bears use for… Continue Reading
During my first full day at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts as an artist-in-residence, I finished up this personal illustration. The shadows and contrast were inspired by the Poltergeist movie poster. How you feel about babies on devices so early will likely make a huge difference in how you see this illustration.… Continue Reading
“When one tugs at a single thing in nature he finds it attached to the rest of the world…” ~ John Muir Self-explanatory, yes? This is available as a print here and the original watercolor painting is available here.… Continue Reading
