I'm a graphic designer and children's book illustrator. I love all things papery and crafty. Bright colors, bling and cheery art makes me happy :).

I live in Oklahoma City and have 2 adult children and my first grandchild on the way!! Super excited!

I love all animals, especially hedgehogs. I'd have a zoo if I could.

I'm new to swapbot and am looking for some fun people to swap some cards, tags, ATCs, etc with!

I am a horror film junkie, which is super funny considering I illustrate children's books for a living haha.

I also love Disney and Pixar movies too. I think Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan and Monsters, Inc. are probably my favorites.

My favorite television series' are Stranger Things, Bates Motel (well....it was until it got cut), and American Horror Story. Those are really the only television series' I watch. I prefer movies to series'.

I enjoy just about every type of art. When I'm not doing graphic design or illustrating books, I like to just go in my art room and make messes! It looks like Michael's exploded in there most of the time, but it's a glorious mess!

I like to order card kits and do those, or create fun tags. I also like mixed media art journaling.

My favorite music is Christian rock, like Skillet, Switchfoot and Decyfer Down.

I don't really enjoy reading, so don't have any favorite books per se. But, I do love art books. I love to look at other artists' work and gather inspiration from it.
