Welcome to my life of images and words. Combining them has helped me become who I am: an artist, a graphic designer, a writer, an illustrator and author, and a mom. As long as I'm creating something, I'm happy.
On this site, you'll find out what inspired me in childhood, what has earned me my living, what took me around the world, and what I'm creating now.
Please enjoy, Mary
