I am an artist who created Figures In Motion to develop great children’s activity books that are not only educational, but also lots of fun to use.

I started out making moving figures for my three children to supplement their history studies. When I saw how much fun the children had with them, and how they would play with them again and again, not only to act out historical events but using them in imaginary play, I thought other kids would enjoy them as well. And so, Figures In Motion was born.

With the release of our first title in February 2009, you and your children (or students) can share that excitement! The Famous Figures books can be used in the classroom…in study groups…in your homeschool co-op…or at home. Wherever you use them, the Famous Figures series of activity books makes the study of history more memorable and lets children make movable action figures of the great men and women of the past.

In addition to the Famous Figures historical action figures series, we are producing several moving animal books, starting with DINOSAURS on the Move and ANIMALS Running Wild. Children will have so much fun making and playing with these moving animal figures (especially the Tyrannosaurus Rex)!

I am also an internationally published airbrush artist who has illustrated three children’s books for Richard C. Owen Publishers, Inc.: Goodbye Goose, Kitty Goes Splash, and The Paper Bag. I have contributed to professional illustrator references including The Encyclopedia of Airbrush Techniques and The Encyclopedia of Illustration Techniques, and have been published in numerous magazines. Trained at the Toledo Museum of Art and the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, I also hold a graduate degree from Stanford University.

I am lifetime lover of both history and art, and I am currently at work on four more Famous Figures books: Famous Figures of Medieval Times, Famous Figures of the Renaissance, Famous Figures of the United States, and Famous Figures of the Bible.
