I began drawing on the walls in crayon at an early age, but my serious art education began at Maryland Institute of Art in Baltimore.

I'm a longtime freelance artist, illustrating and designing for individuals, business owners, media, and organizations — everything from courtroom sketches to pet portraits, on-the-spot caricatures to editorial cartoons. A new challenge has always been irresistable.

Since the late 90s, I've turned to the computer technology which makes graphic design such a delight, as well as web design and desktop publishing. I take my digital camara everywhere and enjoy creative image editing, as well.

I'm also known as a theatrical costume designer, occasional bellydancer, and author of a how-to book series:
The Costume Goddess Tells All
.

I'm a political activist and owner of a non-profit org for political art — Citizen Artiste.

My daily observations and inspirations about art and photography, plus useful tips, are on DESIGN CHAT.
