During free time in kindergarten, I always bee lined it to the art station. The little pull down paper roll on the plastic easel, and painted, to the point I remember my teachers encouraging me to try other activities. My parents were in tune with this nature in me, and put me into an art school in sixth grade. This changed my life forever.

During my pregnancy with my baby daughter, I felt the constant pull back to art. Each time I prayed for guidance, God told me, “Create Art” so clearly, time and time again. So I suppose I better listen. Now, I’ve illustrated my first children’s book, Eliza Picklepear, written by my late Mom, and am illustrating as often as possible. I simply want to chase wonder, and whimsy, and if I can’t find it, I’ll create it.
