About Me
I am a picture book illustrator, writer and artist living on the Big Island of Hawaii. I grew up on a palm tree-lined street in Los Angeles, California.
As a kid, I would search for tiny people at the base of trees. When I went to art school I started out in illustration, but ended up studying fine art (photography, painting, video, sculpture, performance art), minoring in creative writing (poetry).
After moving to Hawaii in 2013, I worked for a few years at an elementary school tutoring children and teaching art part-time. When my daughter turned two, I started to write down her funny questions, observations and accidental poetry- which inspires my current stories and drawings.
BA in Fine Arts from Otis College of Art and Design
