soCurio | art is for everyone

The love of the Southwest brought me to my distinctive style, inspired by the landscapes and the people since my first visit. As fate would have it, I found myself living in that very region, working as a graphic designer and illustrator for 11 years. I use a wide range of media including watercolor, acrylic and computer design to achieve my highly stylized and bold, bright colored artwork. I'm always trying out new media. Right now I'm working with paper to create a more dimensional version of my works. A graduate of what is now the Miami Valley Career Training Center and the School of Advertising Art, I have worked as a graphic designer and illustrator for over 18 years, winning many Associated Press and New Mexico Press Association awards for my design work and illustrations. My work has been displayed in several galleries including Gallery 15 in New Mexico and Rutledge Gallery in Dayton, Ohio, juried shows around Ohio as well as private collections. My designs are available as original pieces, notecards, t-shirts, prints, or just about anything you can think of. Currently I design and paint out of my home in Brookville, Ohio were I reside with my husband George and daughter Jenna.
