Résumé: PDF

I am a Christian and am one girl out of two girls, seven boys in my family.
I started drawing at a very early age. I was, and still am, constantly inspired by my Mother, who always encourages me in my artwork every day. I can't have a pen or pencil in my hand without drawing. Drawing is my passion and a way of expressing myself in order to inspire others. I am striving to become an illustrator for children's book and other literature. My style is mainly conservative and cartoonish, based off my life's experiences and everything I see around me. People can relate to the emotions expressed by my character's emotions that are drawn on their eyes and faces.
Right now, I have my AA in Graphic Design and am continuing with freelancer.

My tools of the trade are Prismacolor pencils, color pencils, markers, Photoshop CS3, CyberTablet 12000 and Illustrator CS4.
