A Life of Color

Picture this: crayon drawn flowers on the backs of my school work, illustrations of "fine art" hung in my grandma's coat closet, my childhood bedroom walls treated like a canvas. As a kid, I always knew I was an artist, excelling in everything creative. Being an artist, I share my feelings in color. I want my stories to create laughter, excitement and empathy in readers. Colored pencils, crayons and digital lighting/illustrating all play a role in my illustrations. I am as excited as ELF when I think about color... "I just like color! Color's my favorite!"

Favorite picture books featuring bears:
BEAR CAME ALONG, BEAR AND CHICKEN, POLAR BEAR IN THE SNOW, SOAKED, and MR. TANNER.
Series favorites are:
THICKETY, THE WILD ROBOT, A TALE DARK AND GRIMM, HUNGER GAMES, and THE DIVINERS.
