About me
I’m an illustrator from California, based in Vienna. I grew up on a Greek island where I went to a primary school taught by a couple from San Francisco. I spent my teen years on a hippie commune “off the grid” in Northern California. After studying English at UCLA, I met my husband and moved to Austria where I began painting. Several illustration commissions in 2014 led to my focus on cartooning. My cartoons have since appeared in The New Yorker, Narrative, Reader’s Digest, The Wall Street Journal, Alta, Airmail, Weekly Humorist, Funny Times, American Bystander, Woman’s World and several in the UK.
