... to the Savannah College of Art & Design. Wow that was a culture shock
for me, but my college days were amazing. I made life long friends, had great
experiences and even got two degrees! A BFA in Graphic Design and a MFA in
Illustration. I've always been pretty good at school so college was an
incredible adventure that I was able to enjoy.

I still miss Savannah sometimes. The cobblestone streets, the spanish moss
on the oak trees, the goths, the art students and the occasional tourist that you avoided motoring down. Ah, good times. It was in Savannah that I met Tray, who later became my husband. With the second degree in hand and my
parents looking for a reprieve from college tuition, I ventured to Canada for
work and Tray followed! We are two warm-climate people who came north.
Yes we are certifiably crazy. Ontario winter snow drifts are impressive!

But I digress—and I do it often, and well—it was here in Canada that I
did that whole 'settling down' part. I got married in true Scottish fashion:
bagpipes, kilts and all! Two years ago, another young man came into my
life, but I believe that my husband won't mind him staying. Aiden was
born in the spring of 2007 and has brought much joy to our lives. We
have a resident matronly housecat named Sienna who has grudgingly
allowed Aiden to remain.

It probably goes without saying that I love to design and draw.
You'll see some of that in the portfolio section. I also love to make
quilts for the dear people in my life. Something about hand stitching
them is magical to me and soothes me with peace. Since coming to
Canada, I've also taken up knitting. Do NOT knock the knitting! It's an awesome hobby/obsession and I shall smite you with holy fire if you
besmirch its good name! Remember that I live in Canada and knitted
items are generally well favoured in winter.

And now back to your regularly scheduled program.
Please put your tray tables up, secure all items and enjoy the ride.
