born Seattle, Washington, 1957
She began in 1979 as a medical illustrator at Seattle Children's Hospital, moving to Mary Bridge Children's Hospital in 1998. Over the years, she has created more than 6500 individual heart drawings. These intricate works of art are created by using charcoal, graphite, and colored pencil.
