Picture
When I was seven years old, I spent eighteen days in the hospital with Rheumatic Fever.  Those eighteen days felt like eighteen years to a seven year old.  While I was in the hospital, my father gave me three things that I’m sure he never imagined would plant the seeds for my lifelong love of art: a small sketchbook, Magic Markers, and a paperback book full of Peanuts comic strips.  I began drawing the Peanuts characters with my markers in that little sketchbook and never stopped.


I continued drawing and painting, occasionally taking classes for many years until one day, I attended an open house at the New York Botanical Garden's Education Department.  I spoke to the coordinator of the Botanical Art and Illustration program and decided to enroll.  The results of my education and love of botanicals is what you see here.  


And I still have my childhood sketchbooks.
