As an artist I've been working professionally since 2000. I first started illustrating comics back in 2000 with SFA and several original submissions to existing anthologies. Soon, I was asked to ink for other artists for SFA. After my first San Diego Comic Con in 1999, I moved on to work with Radio Comix for their Mangaphile book with reasonable success and then I moved over to Anarctic Press for some of their anthologies. Later I found Slave Labor Graphics and submitted work that has been released in their Fat Chunk anthology series. I was asked to do some backend illustrations for various Tokyopop mangas. I later won fourth place in the "Baby the Stars Shine Bright" contest. I have been working with Rittenhouse Archives with their Marvel Comics line and with Upper Deck on their Marvel Masterpiece 3 Artist Trading Card series. You can find a more extensive list here on my resume. I've been attending the San Diego Comic with my own table selling my female lead graphic novels, Ah Heck - The Angel Chronicles and Faux Facts - The Truth Can Be Strange as well as other original artwork and merchandise.

Recently, I was able to be involved with the upcoming Womanthology Project, an anthology featuring over 150 female comic book creators, both new and old to the industry and published by IDW. I colored four stories for the book including one written by Gail Simone. I also contributed my own page to the main anthology and served as an editor and graphic designer for the Womanthology Heroic Sketchbook. I will also be participating in panels for the promotion of the anthology at various conventions. Stay tuned and I will post more as time goes on. If you would like to pre order the book you can do that with Diamond.

I have worked on three unreleased children's books and have been developing my own properties. have worked in animation for the Drew Carey Green Screen Show and animation for the 2008 Olympics. Since then I've freelanced doing character designs for various smaller projects including The Royal Lady Bugs project wherein I have designed the main characters, created illustrations, logos, backgrounds and animated a 2 minute promotional piece for the project.

I am a member of an all girls artist group called Girls Drawing Girls and have had a several art shows have participated in two of their group pin up books, volume 3 and volume 4. We participated in the Pasadena Chalk Festival 2009. We didn't win but we were filmed for National Geographic's new series that this episode focused on the creative process. I wanted to post video from the show but for whatever reason our segment was cut from the episode we should have been in. If it does appear in another I will definitely post that.

If I had to pin down the things that really influenced my style I would say that I was heavily influenced by the 1980s cartoons and particularly the girl targeted series like Lady Lovely Locks, Rose Petal Palace and Rainbow Brite and the stuffed toy franchises like Care Bears, Popples, Gummi Bears, Smurfs, and their many derivatives like Paw Paw Bears etc. Later I was very into the Disney Afternoon and what would later be called the Princess line. I moved into Batman, Sonic the Hedgehog and finally was knowingly introduced to Anime with Scifi Saturday and Sailor Moon. For a while I emulated the styles and then moved back to my traditional animated roots in design though I still love the vibrant colors in anime and to an extent 1980's shows. I think characters should have detail over simplicity. I loved toys like My Little Pony and those endless PVC Figurines. In the more traditional sense I loved Fauvism for it's wild color choices, Impressionism with it's colors, Cubism for it's shape usage. I love Fashion design and costuming. I would have become a fashion designer if I had the sewing skills. But I love authentic costumes as well as modern raver and gothic lolita styles.


I have been a catering assistant, a baker and cake decorator. I like designing different cakes and creating different sorts of deserts from out of my imagination. I'm also very good with animals and caretaking. I work with the elderly sometimes as an activity director or just talking to the ones that have no families or friends. I enjoy mixing music on my computer and taking a lot of digital photos. I love collecting photo books, architecture books, pvc figures, artwork, zines and comics. I have a graphic design degree so I like to design some logos and retouch photos and artwork.

Well enough about me.... go see some of my artwork?
