When I became a mother to my beautiful baby girl, Brooklyn, I wanted to preserve every smile and every stage of her development! I wanted to chart her milestones through pictures so I would always remember them.
After speaking with many friends and relatives, I found we all felt the same way. I have always had a passion for drawing, and therefore turned to that medium to capture our special moments. I've been drawing ever since I could hold a crayon, and I followed art right into college at the University of Delaware. I majored in Art History, and even met my wonderful husband, Adam, in the school's Art Department!
I specialize in, and love to draw, people in general. This site contains several examples of my work. If you're looking for a special gift or keepsake drawing of a loved one, there are several options to choose from.
Be sure to check out the Photo Gallery, so you can see specific examples of my work.
Thanks so much, and I hope you enjoy the site!

Below is a personal example of my daughter and husband that I created looking at two different photos.
As you can see, the medium I work with is primarily graphite. Normally, I use specific drawing pencils, plain graphite, and occasionally charcoal.
