After graduating from the Art Institute, I animated children’s educational CD’s for Knowledge Engineering in the Buckhead area of Atlanta. A great job, making dinosaurs hatch and bean seeds grow. We got Macromedia Director when it had just come out – a huge improvement to the pixel-by-pixel software we’d been using.

My next job was with Appletree Technologies where I took classes in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator while creating business presentations for their Multimedia Division.

From there I drove to DayStar Digital, producer of accelerator boards to make Photoshop fly. My creative director loved to teach us and we had such wonderful teamwork. I used Macromedia Director to illustrate an interface for their product line, which won a New Media Invision Bronze, and I also got to illustrate products and enhance photos that they shot using a Hasselblad – cool.

As a freelance graphic artist, I’ve had the privilege to work for a variety of clients and projects. I’ve animated mutating cells for the CDC, created internal presentations in the basement of Coca-Cola, illustrated scenes for a video game featuring a cyborg armadillo (don’t ask!), and morphed JELLO molds into jiggling creatures to be a Cartoon Network screensaver, as well as, created logos, ads, and book illustrations.

I currently live in Virginia and work from a studio in the top of my house. When not working, I like to sketch portraits, photograph my garden, and work with my husband on our “junior” farm. My favorite artists have always been Tasha Tudor for her sketches and Georgia O’Keefe for her bones. I enjoy concepting and working on my Mac.
