I grew up in a fantastic small New England town, where magical and bizarre things happened. After college I moved to Italy, another place filled with magic. I pursued a career in Art Conservation and have since worked on hundreds of gorgeous paintings, including many works by the great American illustrators of the 1930's and 40's.
All these experiences influence my work and my desire to tell stories and to paint. After spending 15 lovely years in the Hudson Valley, I have moved back to New York City, where I live with my musician husband and slightly overweight cat, who thinks he is a Fierce Tiger. Member SCBWI.
