I love books and storytelling so much that I earned an MFA at the Vermont College of Fine Arts, in their Writing for Children and Young Adults program.
I indulge my love of children's literature (everything from board books to YA novels) by sharing as many books as possible with my four amazing children (and their friends and kids in our community) as well as creating my own books.
I'm always on the lookout for ways to expand my understanding of the world through the magical lenses of words and illustrations. When I'm not immersed in field research for creating those opportunities, I'm hard at work crafting words and pictures to illuminate our world. I like exploring media (art supplies are so much fun!) so I work in collage, printing, drawing, painting, fabric, digital tools (wow, computers can do so much), and of course...mixed media (which is an artsy way of saying all of the above!)
