SAm recently completed a series of over 50 Illustrations for signage at the New York Botanical Gardens
Everett Children�s Adventure Garden in the Bronx, New York. This work was done on an independent contractor
basis for Carbone Smolan, the award-winning design firm in New York City. Sizes of the signs vary, but all are
very large in format, for example 44 inches x 36 inches. Most of the signs are scenes featuring multiple plants
and animals in a natural setting. Others are single images involved in conveying information about food chains
or Question and Answer signs. Though the signage was created for a children�s garden, the style is highly realistic
and detailed and is appropriate for all ages.

SAm's professional portrait as an Art Director, Designer, and Illustrator for the interactive medium has been
enhanced by new activities in TV and print. She completed several on air logos for Nickelodeon's
Cable TV offerings: "Total Gross Out Saturday", "RU All That?", and "Pie-o-Gram". These broadcast logos
featured an engaging mixture of illustration and custom lettering.

Interactive projects include: Staten Island Academy website and Glaxo Smith Kline CD-ROM design
for Medialuna Productions, screen design for an After Effects animation promoting Mini-Movie CDsTM
for Odyssey Productions, and graphics for Concerto Office Telephone Systems website.

Branching into other mediums, she developed and launched a new line of 10 "teach & greet" greeting cards on
extreme life forms or "xtremofiles", a hot topic at the forefront of astrobiology. The American Museum of Natural History
featured this line of cards in their main store.

SAm is very involved in educational projects for kids and teens. She is working on aCD-ROM for children
aged 8-11 on extreme life forms in association with Medialuna Productions. She is also illustrating a children's book
she wrote last year. Ostensibly about the planets, the book focuses on the area where science and spirituality meet.
