I have always drawn!
I remember picking up a pencil at a very young age and trying to capture the scenes I saw around me.
I tried my hand at a variety of media through high school and college. I settled on sculpture for a period and then worked in jewelry for eight years, but then my muse brought me back to drawing. Since 1990, I have worked almost exclusively with graphite pencil drawing.
I have developed a substantial portfolio, part of which can be viewed in my gallery. My work has been sold in galleries, I have done freelance illustration work, and I’ve written a book about drawing called Drawing Made Easy: Getting Started. In addition, I have created a series of self paced drawing lessons, also available at this web site since 1999.
I live in Michigan with my husband, where I’m inspired by the lovely trees and plants which surround us, and by all the creatures who live here too.
