Welcome
to my site.
In the beginning I studied art and illustration at the University of Houston, Texas, and the Art Center School of Design in Pasadena, California. For over 20 years now I have been a professional Illustrator. My illustrations are done in watercolor, gouache and colored pencils.
Throughout most of my career I have specialized in books for children. However my experience includes illustrations for advertising and editorial projects, greeting cards, textbooks, trade picture books, as well as art for the “Barney & Friends” TV show. I have illustrated 14 picture books for children, including “Harriett the Homeless Raccoon”, which I wrote and illustrated.
I live in Dallas, Texas with my husband, Pat Haverfield, who is a talented advertising photographer and fine artist.
