This website displays my picture book illustrations. Creating picture books has always been my dream.

With bachelor degrees in art and science, I have enjoyed both these career directions as a layout artist, mechanical engineer, a fine artist, and a creator of hands-on science labs and art projects for grade school kids.  

But telling stories with words and pictures is what I have always wanted to do, and my love of nature remains a common thread in my stories. It is the natural behavior of everything – critters, plants, kids, gravity, even paint that captivates me, and informs my stories and art. Reality is magical!
