I am an artist and designer based in Northern New Jersey creating hand-painted and vector based artwork for greeting cards, wall art and printed fabrics. I raise butterflies and rescue felines and I’m often kept company in the studio by my four cats - one in particular provides the main source of inspiration for my growing collection,  “Meet Max”!

 

I mostly grew up in Peekskill, NY and finished high school in Ohio where I was often asked if I knew Blair and Tootie.  I graduated with a BFA in painting from Kent State University in Kent, Ohio and also have a few years of the fashion design program under my belt where I aspired to be a fashion illustrator.

 

I've been working in NYC’s fashion industry as a designer and technical designer for many years and Tilia Press is my outlet for staying in touch with my art, while helping others to stay in touch with each other! Fashion illustration is still on my radar...
