After receiving a BFA in Graphic Communications from the Center for Creative Studies in Detroit,
I worked for a decade as an advertising art director in Detroit, Denver and Grand Rapids, MI.
In 1996, as a freelance illustrator, I worked for clients such as the Wall Street Journal,
Children's Television Workshop and NPR. A decade later, I was given a book of Nancy Crow's
artwork and have never looked back. I have been fortunate to study with her since 2010
and now work full time on my artwork.
I live on the shores of Lake Macatawa in Michigan with my husband Blair Rieckmann,
a sculptor and coffee roaster.
