Biography

Like most children I enjoyed coloring and drawing. I seriously started thinking about art as a career in my early teens though I gave up painting in high school to other interests. After moving out of my parent's home, I was looking for something constructive to spend my free time. My (then future) husband bought me an art kit; I picked up painting again. I spent a few years experimenting with different mediums and techniques, before I decided to dedicate my life to creating works of art focusing on nature and animals.

Being a Washington native, I have always loved the sights of the Pacific Northwest. It is easy to find inspiration in a place of such beauty. Born in Coupeville on Whidbey Island in 1976, I grew up in the Bremerton area. I currently reside in Seattle with my husband, Dennis Roberts and our two dogs.

Over the course of my artistic career, I have created over 100 paintings, 3 graphic novels and a comic book series. I am currently working on the graphic novel Faminelands 3: Mareton's Curse and my first written novel.
