THINGS I LIKE


Besides illustrating and writing, I also teach watercolor painting through The Creative Center. I love living in New York City. When I get the chance, I love to go surfing – though I'm hardly any good at it. Sitting in the ocean for an hour or two, listening to the gulls and paddling around is so good for the soul. I also love NPR, as well as the character Louise from "Bob's Burgers." If I could take an art class with any painter in history, it would be from John Singer Sargent. And if I could take a writing class from any author, it would be from E.B. White.

WELCOME


Welcome to my website. You will see that I love writing and illustrating stories for children. It's become kind of a problem. My family won't share details of their day with me anymore, for fear I will use their struggles in a story. They often tiptoe past my drafting table, hoping I won't ask, "Do you have a minute? I just want to get your opinion on this." The cat seems willing to share his thoughts with me though – and if I don't listen, he often adds a few pawprints of his own to improve my art. If you have questions or comments, or have a project that you think I would be interested in, please contact me. Or if you just want to chat about Downton Abbey or the weather, that's good too.

BLOGS & SOCIAL MEDIA

WordpressILLUSTRATION FRIDAY
My weekly entries for "Illustration Friday" are archived on this blog. Includes unfinished sketches – some imagination required.

facebookPAINT & PAPER
This blog contains my thoughts about the writing and illustrating process. It's honest, and let's you know how challenging it is to go the traditional publishing route. But this is my Everest, and I wouldn't want it any other way.

SOCIAL MEDIA
When I paint or draw something new, I often post photos of the work in progress on Facebook and Twitter. I'm still learning how to work Twitter. #hashtagnewbie. I'm happy to connect with you, even if we haven't met. But hopefully we have something in common. Like art. Or chocolate.
