| Introduction | I love to draw! In an age when most forms of art are becoming digital, I prefer the intimacy of hand-drawn art. I am happiest curled up on the couch with a pencil in my hand and a sketchbook two inches from my nose. My love of art and illustration can be traced back to around age five, when I won my first art contest with a drawing of a princess in an elaborate gown - illustrating wedding dresses seems to be a natural transition! I traveled quite a bit in my younger years, living everywhere from Los Angeles to Athens, Greece. In my travels, I was fortunate to be surrounded by creative people who motivated me to pursue work as an artist. I began work in the fashion industry in New York in 1995, gleaning information about garment construction as a fit model for various designers. As an adult, my past experience includes work as the assistant designer and house fashion illustrator for Miosa Couture, a Northern California custom bridal boutique. I currently find work as a freelance costume and bridal designer, and as the owner of The Illustrated Bride Etsy Shop. I presently reside in Northern California with my husband Matthew, and my children Noah, Audrey, and Evelyn. |
