The Kitchen was the name of my business when I was a freelance Designer and Illustrator. I decided to go work for someone else a few years ago, but kept thekitchensite up so that I could still paint, draw and update this site regularly... which rarely happens.                        
 
Now I'm working as a full time Mom and freelancing on the side. Our son, Carver acts as Office Manager, Art Director and IT guy.
