Hello! I'm an artist and illustrator in San Francisco. I'm a printmaker by training and I make hand pulled original prints on paper, as well as digital illustrations, all inspired by plant life and animals. I grew up in Florida surrounded by lush nature. In my youngest years we lived next door to a couple who were both entomology professors at the University of Florida. They generously indulged my curiosity about the exotic plants they grew in a greenhouse, and filled my mind with interesting facts about the insects they studied. My lifelong love of nature was sparked then, and I have followed it ever since. I spent a few years in Texas and I found its beauty stunning, especially during wildflower bloom. Now in northern California, I am awed by the diversity of plants which can grow under the marine layer. I enjoy biking to Golden Gate Park regularly to sketch and be inspired.
