I grew up in a small, magical New England town. (What other hamlet holds an annual Pooh Stick Race?) After college I moved to Italy to pursue a degree in Art Conservation. Returning to New York three years later, I worked in several major studios before opening my own conservation business. I had the good fortune to work on hundreds of gorgeous paintings 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 years in the lovely Hudson Valley, I have moved back to New York City, where I live with my musician husband and overweight cat, who thinks he is a Fierce Tiger. Member SCBWI.
