About Me

I’m a former elementary teacher, currently writing, painting, and gardening while living on my hobby farm surrounded by wildlife. I love wildlife and nature and hope to inspire children to help protect it. I believe that we protect the things we love. 

I’m an active member of SCBWI, the Picture Book Challenge, and the Courage to Create. I also participate in three critique groups with published authors. I’ve taken advanced picture book writing classes at the Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis, MN and at SCBWI conferences and other workshops.
