my work

I work in watercolor and printable dye, with a neutral ink line, as well as in black line. The finished art is scanned, cleaned up and delivered digitally either directly or via my ftp site or yours. Of course I can send you scanable art anytime you prefer.

Self representation allows me to develop a working relationship with you the client, that promotes maximum creativity in the art. I see the business end of illustrating as exciting and mutually beneficial.

My clients can expect a natural racial, ethnic balance in my art and women in a full spectrum of roles. I love showing both men and women relating with freedom and respect, and drawing engaged and self respecting children, as well as animals who are more like us than different.
 

Clients include:

  • Augsburg Publishing
  • The Chicago Tribune
  • D.C.Cook
  • Harcourt Brace
  • Harper Collins
  • Houghton Mifflin
  • Macmillan McGraw-Hill
  • Modern Curriculum Press
  • Oxford University Press
  • Pearson
  • Scholastic
  • Scott Foresman
  • Silver Burdett and Ginn
  • Steck-Vaughn
  • Random House Children's Books

I illustrate trade books, text books, editorial art, as well as art for character development, game boards and toy boxes, cookbooks, calendars and catalogs. I have a liberal arts degree from University of Wisconsin, Madison with a major in fine arts and twenty years experience illustrating.

I love hearing from anyone who is interested in any aspect of my work.
