I was born in Canton, OH in 1954. I am a mid to late career artist with a background in a fine art education. I attended Arizona State University and transferred to the Art Center College of Design with a major in illustration. I worked as a fashion illustrator expanding into editorial and advertising art. After a 17 year career as an illustrator with many nationally known clients and agencies I left this career to focus on painting and ceramics. I live in a small Northern California town with my husband/painter Ray Roberts and three pups. Our children are grown and living life large.
