I'm a Mama 👨👩👧, lover of big cites - architecture 🏙️, wine🍷, food, fashion, laughing and travel ✈️ . My illustrations are all about the capturing the fleeting beauty within the world. I’m heavily influenced by New York City and it’s people, buildings, atmosphere and culture. My work is all about capturing the fleeting beauty within the world.
My work blends fine art watercolor technique with fashion storytelling and real-world experiences. From live illustration at runway shows and brand activations to licensed artwork for products and interiors, I approach every project as both a design solution and a memorable experience.
Throughout my illustrious career, I've collaborated with prestigious clients like the New York Public Library, Stacy Garcia Inc., Gabrielle's Angel Foundation for Cancer Research, and Portland's Bride & Groom. My illustrations have graced the pages of published books such as Men@Work & Fashion@Work, and I've showcased my work in numerous art exhibitions over the past 20+ years. Excitingly, I've recently joined Illustrators for Hire a curated group of talented freelance illustrations and I have been part of Hireillo for over 10+ years.
I'm always actively seeking freelance illustration opportunities, representation and projects to work on. If you believe my unique style and diverse experience align with your company’s vision, don't hesitate to reach out at any time!

On a personal note, beyond my illustrating endeavors, I co-produce The Nothing Podcast with Nobody Important as part of Cool Side Productions and contribute to Women@Work, a platform empowering working women through mentorship. I'm also involved in illustrating their book series that is available on Amazon! Lastly, I serve on the board of directors for The Rockaway Theatre Company because I just love everything about live theatre.
