About the Illustrator:
After spending 14 years in the hospitality industry, I was afforded the special opportunity to stay home with my two beautiful young sons to help focus on their schooling and development. During this time, I was delighted and privileged to also rediscover my love for the arts. I have been taking the opportunity to refine my skill set, learn some new skills and pick up on current technology which serves the artistic community. Few people ever have the privilege of making their passion their pursuit as well and making a career of it, but I am finally in a position to attempt to do just that. With the support of my family, I am enjoying every moment I spend creating my treasured illustrations and showing my sons what is possible when passion meets perseverance.
