I’m a picture maker and collector of stories, living in Atlanta, Georgia. I like to imagine myself roving through the market with my figurative push cart, peddling bite-sized yarns to soothe the woe-begotten, tickle the tired and to kindly prod the occasional humbug. “Delight and Disarm!” is my motto, believing firmly that the here and now is worth savoring, by golly, and that everyone could use a little nudge in taking the leap from “someday” to today. Pictures are my trade, and I hold firmly that they have the power and potency to build bridges and mend weary hearts. With equal parts pep and compassion, I use illustration to invite others to join me in waking up to “this one wild and precious life.”
