About Me:

Filmmaking has featured prominently in my life these past five years. I've enjoyed directing a number of short films, as well as writing a few myself. I have worked in the art department, in production roles, and in editing. I'm presently exploring the massive potential of After Effects, with exciting results. I'm also working on animation projects, following up a lifetime of cartooning, and continuing a collaborative process with my writer husband as we make short films together.

Film is the most recent venue acting as my creative outlet. Writing, illustration, photography, painting, sketching, acting and 20 years as a production artist have constituted my background.

Favorite Music:

Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Sepultura, The Stranglers, Ween, Violent Femmes, David Bowie, Johnny Cash, Rammstein, Barry Manilow.
