My career began out of college working in the graphics department of AT&T; I did some time as the artist/office manager of a small neighborhood print shop and finally, 5 years at a small advertising agency before hitting the freelance trail. From there, I did freelancing for such clients as Enesco Giftware, Roman, Inc. and Bradford Exchange and currently, Wilton Enterprises. Today, I still service an assortment of freelance clients, I love to write humor and am pursuing my love of voice overs, but most often bring my own brand of family friendly humor to my art, and as I like to say, I draw personalities, not faces.

First I am an artist, but art shares top billing with my humorous side, the side that loves writing whimsy. I can make it rhyme, keep it to prose, or even make it sing with song parodies. Limericks are definitely in order. Whichever the case, I like to keep it funny and personalized. I have studied screenwriting with the Chicago Screenwriters Group, have attended three screenwriting Expos in Los Angeles, where I have learned tips from the tops in the industry, and have over 20 years of experience scripting and bringing voice to characters for a Chicago puppet theater. The trick to writing is to have a clear message, cut the waste and be imaginative. But most of all, have fun. Oh, and don't forget to hit "SAVE" on your computer!
