I live in New York City with my husband and senior cat Oreo. I’m a vegan, story slam appreciat’n, music lover who’s starting to draw again. I’m just as satisfied at home in the quiet pursuit of botanical illustration as I am diving into the sights, sounds, and tastes of the city. I am a work in progress personally and professionally, always striving to be better.
