About MeA graduate of the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale, I worked as a Graphic Artist back in the day when you actually had to "cut and paste". I realized my true passion lies in writing and illustrating children’s books and teaching. For nearly 30 years I taught drawing and painting classes to children and adults. I also teach swimming. It is so rewarding to show someone how to do something and they end up loving it! I've been a member of SCBWI for many years, and actively participate with my critique groups. My art is created to bring joy and a sense of play to all viewers. Whether I’m writing a children’s book or illustrating a story, happiness is the key. When not creating or teaching, I love spending time with my family in sunny Florida. |
