Several years out of college, I began working for a small decorative Home DEcor company that focused on holiday ornaments, home decor and furniture. everything required hand painted designs, such as floral and fauna.

when relocating to the Us virgin islands several years later, i began to illustrate the tropical plants and flowers that surrounded the gardener’s cottage that i was residing in. it was here that i fell in love with botanical illustration.

in 2000, i decided to enroll in a two year certificate program for natural science illustration at the rhode island school of design, with a focus on botanical illustration.

Below are several illustrations now available in giclee prints.

My Natural Science Illustrations & Botanical Illustrations have been shown in many exhibitions such as:

the New York Botanical Gardens, NY; the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, NY; the Longwood Gardens, PA; the Audubon Society's Educational Center of Rhode Island; the Audubon Society of Greenwich, CT; the Poudre Valley Art League, CO.

many of these works and other illustrations have been shown in a number of group and solo exhibitions.
