About me

I love nature and creative arts. My happy place is at the intersection of art, illustration, writing, looking under logs and rocks, sorting through leaf litter, and nature in general, from microbes to ecosystems. I'm passionate about communicating why nature matters through my drawing, painting, and writing.

I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Biological Sciences and a Master of Science in Zoology.

I'm a member of:

Guild of Natural Science Illustrators

Society for Children's Book Writers and Illustrators

American Malacological Society

I'm a research associate at:

Delaware Museum of Nature & Science

Paleontological Research Institution
