I began drawing horses at age five and grew up to become an art teacher, watercolor painter, architectural illustrator, and interior designer.

As a caricaturist for the last 10 years, I’ve drawn well over 10,000 faces, and listened to thousands of stories of peoples’ lives. Both the listening and the capturing of someone’s essence in black and white are activities that I still relish.
