About me
I am an author, illustrator, painter, martial arts instructor, and mother.
I love the way light touches everything, walking under trees, flowers, fall, music, drawing and coloring, writing, Halloween and Christmas, martial arts, yoga, children, animals, magic, and stories.
My favorite tales include (in no particular order):
Dav Pilkey's Dragon books
The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde
The White Stag
Plain Kate by Erin Bow
Engine Summer by John Crowley
The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman
Lilith and Phantastes by George MacDonald
J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter books
Of Love and Other Demons by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
In the Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak
The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. LeGuin
Coraline by Neil Gaiman
I live in Denver, CO with my husband, kitty and doggie. My two children are launching their adult lives. I have been shaped and transformed by the people and the stories that I love.
