Painter AND Author
While painting is my main hobby, I have recently been inspired to write illustrated children's books and I am having so much fun with this! I enjoy collaborating with other artists in designing my books and hope to instill great values and creativity in each of our children.

My Background
I have a passion for working with oil paints, specifically with the technique of finger painting (in which no brushes are used). Instead I use my finger tips to create exciting textures and depth! I also love to do watercolors on occasion.
I also enjoy writing children's books and hope to inspire children to celebrate and recognize their creativity, beauty and value.
