As a Seattle youngster, I spent a lot of time alone outdoors watching and drawing birds from a private perch in our backyard   ~  The Summer House  ~  It wasn't just for summer. I played there all year round, and it wasn't really a house - except in my imagination. I felt surrounded by magic.


After decades of learning and practice, following and realizing my dream-goal of being a children's book illustrator, I still feel the magic. Sometimes romantic - often whimsical - definitely colorful. With every painting and every fabric gift and quilt I make, I hope you feel this magic translates and brings you delight.


Now I live in Spokane, Washington, in a small apartment reminiscent of The Summer House. I am monumentally grateful to all of you ~ followers and customers ~ for your views and purchases.

As a former illustrator I would like to say, that children's publishing has changed so much since my days maneuvering it, I can only give those interested this advice: look up SCBWI.ORG (Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators - find a region near you); look at UNDERDOWN.ORG (Harold Underdown, editor with oodles of current information); keep following your interests, and learn what you need to learn.
