Biography

I was born and raised in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. There I had the happiest of childhoods in a family of eight.

I became interested in art at a very early age, and at 18, left for Utah where I earned a BFA in printmaking. Frequent trips to the desert to see ancient rock art inspired my early work.

After a year an a half in Japan, I attended the Ohio State University. It was there that I adopted chair, hats and clothing as motifs. It was also on campus that I met my husband and two and a half years later, gave birth to our first child.

I now live in Georgia, where I teach part time at Wesleyan College. I love children's literature and travel with my family.
