About
I am an illustrator & apparel graphics artist in the Milwaukee area with 10+ years experience. I have worked for a variety of commercial clients such as Chronicle Books, Maximum Fun, Tea Collection, Old Navy, and Gymboree, to name a few. My freelance work consists of watercolor-painting, illustration, pet portraits, fashion & apparel graphics, and textile design. I LOVE painting cats! I also specialize in children's apparel graphics & textiles. If you are an eco-clothing company - all the better! Currently accepting freelance work.
