Ode to my Island on a fine spring day.
Blessed blue waters of Peconic Bay.
Here at the edge, where sand does greet the sea...
One place in all the world my soul can be...

I live, write, illustrate here on the stunning East End of Long Island, NY. This place, the wildlife/nature, inspires me...red tailed hawk, soaring osprey, sunsets over an empty spit of beach...moon rise above feilds of corn.
If you've never been here--OH Buddy!! You are missing out!

I've written/illustrated a few books of poetry for young people, received great rejections...still searching for that elusive publisher. Some of my work has been put to music and performed in schools on Long Island. (That was a blast, seeing my poetry come alive!)

I also enjoy reading, movies, photography...and hanging out with Buffy-Fluffy-Butt, my 25lb Norwegian Forest Cat!
