Currently based out of Atlanta, I grew up in a multicultural family and spent much of my life traveling as a military brat.
A creative mom encouraged me to get into crafts at a young age. I experimented with everything from making my own pop-up books to friendship bracelets and crochet. In my adult years, I rediscovered crafting as a great way to de-stress (and to make a good bit of pocket change!) A good thing, too, or I would've been buried by all of the products of my little experiments!
I’ve earned three degrees, a BA in English, a BA in Studio Art, and an MA in Arts Administration. I could never choose between my love of writing, of illustration, and for helping other artists. I currently work as a full time freelance illustrator with a specialization in Fantasy Art, while I craft masks and other unique leather items in my spare time.
You can find my art instruction book, Angelic Visions: Create Fantasy Art Angels in Watercolor, Colored Pencil, and Ink, on the shelves of a bookstore near you! Or here at my art shop (http://angelicshades.etsy.com) where you can purchase a special bundle directly from the artist.
