Abigail had ambitions of becoming an opera singer and joining the circus whilst growing up, and although neither of those ended up working out too well, she still enjoys both.

She began drawing with ink and painting with watercolor. She has developed a taste for flat digital coloring, however, and only gets a craving for paint now and again.

Her inspirations range from Edgar Allen Poe to Lewis Carroll to Dr. Seuss. Her greatest artistic influences have been Arthur Rackham, John William Waterhouse, and Edward Gorey.

Any spare time that's not spent basking in darkness or watching re-runs of The Addams Family, she is creating art for private clients, illustrating books, and spending time with her favorite long-leggity beasts, ghouls, ghosts and various other things that go bump in the night.

Abigail's work has been featured in many gallery shows across the United States, such as the Museum of American Illustrators in New York, The Poe Museum of Richmond, and Gallery Nucleus in California, and she has participated in many group gallery shows including Halloween Town's annual "Tribute to the Haunted Mansion" and Creature Features' "October Shadows" shows. Her work has been featured in various publications including "Spectrum 18: Fantastic Art" and "Digital Artist" as well as several independent publishing houses.
