I'm a Michigan artist, author and illustrator and I've been writing, drawing and making books and art ever since I could hold a pencil.
I was inspired by lots of authors and illustrators, from
Jean Craighead George to Beatrix Potter and Michigan's
own artist and author, Gwen Frostic. My favorite books
as a child were: Paddington Bear, The Bobbsey Twins,
The Swiss Family Robinson, fairy tales, myths, legends
and so many more. I am still a book GEEK!
I was nine-years-old when I got my first library card! It opened up a whole new world for me! I read and drew all the time all over the five acres of Michigan woods that I grew up on.
I was selected to be artist-in-residence for the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park and Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. Making books is my passion!
