I am a Christian and am one girl out of two girls, seven boys in my family. I’m happily married to my best friend, Charles, whom I love very much.
I started drawing at a very early age. I was, and still am, constantly inspired by my Mother, who always encourages me in my artwork every day. I can’t have a pen or pencil in my hand without drawing. Drawing is my passion and a way of expressing myself in order to inspire others. I am striving to become an illustrator for children’s book and other literature. My style is mainly conservative and cartoonish, based off my life’s experiences and everything I see around me. People can relate to the emotions expressed by my character’s emotions that are drawn on their eyes and faces.
Right now, I have my AA in Graphic Design and am continuing with freelancer.

My tools of the trade are Prismacolor pencils, color pencils, markers, Photoshop CS3, Intous 4, GIMP 2.6 and Illustrator CS4.
